Deer in the Forest II 1912

Franz Marc's *Deer in the Forest II* (1912) is a prime example of the artist's signature style, known as Expressionism, and specifically his interest in the depiction of animals. The painting features bold colors and simplified forms, focusing on the emotional essence of the scene rather than precise realism. The simplified forms of the deer, trees, and forest create a sense of movement and energy, highlighting the power of nature and the animal world. The use of vivid colors like yellow, green, blue, and red create a powerful emotional impact. This work is considered a masterpiece of the German Expressionist movement, reflecting the artist's passion for nature and his artistic exploration of its emotional power.
