Two Mythical Animals 1914

Franz Marc's "Two Mythical Animals" (1914) is a striking example of German Expressionism. The woodcut features two simplified, animalistic figures rendered in bold black and white. The use of sharp lines and bold forms creates a sense of energy and movement, characteristic of Expressionism. Marc's focus on the emotional power of color and form is evident in the use of black to evoke a sense of mystery and primal power. This woodcut exemplifies Marc's fascination with the spiritual significance of animals and his deep connection to nature.
