Sleeping Deer 1913

Franz Marc's "Sleeping Deer" is a vibrant watercolor on paper that exemplifies the artist's signature style of Expressionism. Painted in 1913, this artwork captures a simplified deer, rendered in shades of blue and black, resting upon a colorful landscape of geometric shapes and bold, saturated colors. The vivid greens, blues, and reds evoke a sense of nature's vitality, while the stylized forms contribute to the emotional and symbolic essence of the work. This piece is a testament to Marc's commitment to exploring the spiritual and emotional aspects of nature through abstract means.
