Ebook: Franz Marc

Condemned by the Nazis as a degenerate artist, Franz Marc (1880-1916) was a German painter whose stark linearity and emotive use of color eloquently expressed the pain and trauma of war. In work such as his celebrated Fate of the Animals, Marc created a raw emotional expression of primitive violence which he called a premonition of the war which would eventually be the cause of his own untimely death at the age of 36.;Biography; Germany at the end of the 19th Century -- the Imperial Period; Franz Marc; Der Blaue Reiter; Die Brücke; Expressionism; Degenerate Art -- Letters of Franz Marc from the field (excerpts) and some of his aphorisms; In Sâles, 2nd Sept.
