| Summary |
"The German painter Franz Marc pursued the representation of the horse - a theme central to the fine arts - throughout his life. Co-founder, with Wassily Kandinsky, of the almanac Der Blaue Reiter [The Blue Rider], Marc was a champion of innovation in art. In his own work he achieved symbolic, visionary images now recognized as among the icons of early Modernism." |
