About This Piece

Horses were Franz Marc's great subject, and 1911 was the year he made some of his most famous, including The Large Blue Horses. This study comes from that same year: two horses drawn in loose chalk on a warm tan ground, their bodies picked out with strokes of bold blue and teal. You can see Marc working toward the idea that made his name, that color could express the inner life of an animal rather than simply describe it.

The warm ground and cool blue accents work well with oatmeal, cream, and soft blue walls, and with natural wood and leather. It's a natural fit for a study, a bedroom, or a horse lover's home, and its sketch-like quality layers nicely into a gallery wall of drawings.

About the Artist

Franz Marc (1880–1916) was a German painter and co-founder of Der Blaue Reiter alongside Wassily Kandinsky. He painted animals almost exclusively, not from a naturalist impulse but a spiritual one. He believed animals were closer to an essential truth than humans, and he used color to express that belief directly. Blue for the masculine and spiritual. Yellow for the feminine and gentle. Red for matter, which had to be opposed. The horses and deer and foxes he left behind remain some of the most emotionally direct paintings of the twentieth century. He was thirty-six when he made the last of them.
