Caliban 1914

"Caliban" (1914) by German Expressionist painter Franz Marc depicts a semi-abstract figure inspired by Shakespeare's "The Tempest". The artwork showcases Marc's signature style, utilizing bold colors and expressive brushstrokes to evoke emotion and a sense of dynamism. The figure's distorted form, with its prominent eyes and angular limbs, conveys a sense of primal energy and a rejection of traditional artistic norms. The background, characterized by swirling lines and vibrant colors, contributes to the work's overall sense of chaos and intensity.
