The Steer (The Bull) 1911

Franz Marc's "The Steer (The Bull)" from 1911 is a striking example of German Expressionism. The white bull, rendered in simplified forms and bold colors, dominates the composition, its red patch a vibrant contrast against the deep blue and green background. The dynamic brushstrokes and simplified forms create a sense of energy and movement, characteristic of the style. This iconic work, now housed at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, is a testament to Marc's artistic exploration of animal symbolism and the raw power of nature.
