Two Blue Horses 1913

Franz Marc's "Two Blue Horses" from 1913 embodies the expressive style of German Expressionism. The painting features two horses, rendered in simplified forms and bold colors, against a backdrop of mountains and a crescent moon. Marc's use of vivid blue for the horses, contrasted with the earthy greens and browns of the landscape, creates a vibrant and emotional scene, reflecting his belief in the spiritual power of animals. The work's abstract qualities and symbolic imagery evoke a sense of primal energy and a connection to nature.
