Die Wölfe 1913

"Die Wölfe" (The Wolves), painted in 1913 by German Expressionist artist Franz Marc, depicts a pack of wolves in a vibrant landscape. The painting utilizes bold colors and geometric forms, characteristic of Marc's "Blue Rider" style. The simplified animal forms and fragmented, abstract background create a sense of dynamism and energy, highlighting the primal power and instinctual nature of the wolf. The contrasting colors, like the deep blue of the foreground wolf and the fiery red of the one behind it, add to the painting's expressive and emotional intensity.
