Franz Marc

Franz Marc tried to show the spiritual side of nature in his paintings. For instance, colors were symbols. He saw blue as being masculine, spiritual and robust. Yellow was gentle, feminine, and serene. Red was brutal and heavy. Along with Wassily Kandinsky and Auguste Macke, he was a founding member of Der Blaue Reiter (the Blue Horseman), which brought together Expressionist, Cubist, and Contemporary artists.  This progressive group had a powerful influence on 20th century art. Sadly, his life of 36 years was cut tragically short on a battlefield in WWI.
