Life and Career of Franz Marc
Franz Marc was born in 1880 in Munich. His father painted landscapes professionally, whereas his mother was a housewife. At the age of twenty, Franz Marc began his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. During his travel to Paris he visited museums and painted reproductions of paintings, which at that time was a popular way of developing the painting technique. In Paris, Franz Marc had contacts with artists, as well as with works of Vincent van Gogh, which made a huge impression on him. In 1906, Franz Marc went on a trip to Greece with his older brother. Franz Marc was a friend of August Macke, with whom he worked and experimented together. In 1911, Franz Marc together with Wassily Kandinsky founded a magazine ‘The Blue Rider’, which became also a name of the association, which brings together artists - expressionists. Soon, another painters joined them - Gabriele Münter, Marianne von Werefkin, Alexej von Jawlensky, Alfred Kubin, Paul Klee and Hanns Bolz. The first exhibition of their paintings took place from 18th of December 1911 to 1st of January 1912 at Moderne Galerie Heinrich Thannhauser in Munich. In the course of the exhibition, several works of Franz Marc were presented. The exhibition took place also in Berlin, Cologne, the Hague and Frankfurt. In 1912, Franz Marc met Robert Delaunay, who had a significant impact on him. At that time, Franz Marc was fascinated by futurism and cubism. Under the influence of these artistic movements, paintings such as ‘The Tiger’, 'The Red Deer’, ‘The Foxes’ and ‘The Tower of Blue Horses’ were created. During the World War I, Franz Marc was called to the German army. In the letter to his wife, he described how he painted tarps for camouflage against the attacks of foreign troops. In 1916, the government created a list of outstanding artists, who should be withdrawn from combats. Franz Marc was on the list, but unfortunately, he could not be saved. He died during the Battle of Verdun in 1916.
What is special about Franz Marc’s paintings?
Many of Franz Marc’s paintings present animals in their natural surroundings. In his paintings nature plays an important role – that is an idyllic place, where a human being should re-establish his lost relationship in order to regain his subjectivity. For Franz Marc animals are creatures with mystic nature, therefore in his paintings there are often such animals as horses, tigers, as well as other exotic animals. The hallmark of Franz Marc’s painting is the uniqueness of colours. His compositions seem to be almost overexposed, and the intensity of colours has its symbolic significance. Franz Marc claimed that colours carry a specific emotional load, which can be conveyed in images. Blue represented manhood and spirituality, yellow symbolised female joy, whereas red stood for violence. After the Nazis came to power in 1936, Franz Marc was recognized as a degenerated artist and his works were removed from German museums. Some of his works were discovered only in 2011 in the apartment of Cornelius Gurlitt, whose father was a collector of modernist art.
