Grazing Horses I 1911

"Grazing Horses I" (1911) by Franz Marc depicts a scene of four horses grazing in a field, rendered in a bold, expressionistic style. Marc, a prominent member of the German Expressionist movement, was known for his vibrant colors and simplified forms, which convey emotion and movement. This painting is a testament to Marc's fascination with animals and his belief in their spiritual significance. The horses are depicted in a dynamic, almost abstract manner, their forms reduced to essential lines and shapes. The painting's vibrant palette, dominated by shades of red, orange, and yellow, adds to its energetic and expressive quality.
