Franz Marc's "Wild Pigs (Boar and Sow)" (1913) is a vibrant example of his Expressionist style, characterized by bold colors and simplified forms. The painting depicts a blue boar and red sow in a lush, green landscape, emphasizing the animal's primal nature and connection to the earth. The use of non-representational color, such as the blue boar, adds an emotional and spiritual dimension to the work. The painting exemplifies the artistic movement of German Expressionism, which sought to express inner feelings and emotions through visual language. It is now housed at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany.
