Abstraktes Aquarell I 1913 - 1914

Franz Marc's "Abstraktes Aquarell I" from 1913-1914 is an example of his abstract style, often characterized by bold colors and geometric shapes. The watercolor depicts a composition of overlapping circles and arcs in vibrant hues of yellow, red, blue, and green, suggesting a sense of dynamism and energy. This work reflects Marc's exploration of the interplay between color and form, a characteristic of early 20th-century German Expressionism. The use of watercolor lends a sense of lightness and fluidity to the composition, contrasting with the boldness of the shapes and colors.
