Franz Marc was born in Munich, Germany on February 8, 1880. His father worked as a professor at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts.
He wanted to become a priest and study philosophy but abandoned those ideas

The Blue Rider was an association of artists located in and around Munich. The group was founded by Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc in 1911. Together with another group of artists, The Bridge, centered around Berlin, they represented the movement of German Expressionism.

Marc Franz and his View on Animals
Nearly all works of art created by Marc Franz show animals. He liked animals and saw in them innocent beings in harmony with nature. He wanted to paint the world out of the perspective of the animal. Marc was a very sensitive and spiritual man. Today, only hundred years later, it is not quite easy to understand the ideas of this artist and others, although they were documented in articles, books and letters

Marc and Macke volunteered for the German military service when World War I broke out. They had the idea that the war would be some kind of a purification of a spoiled and rotten civilization. Macke was killed in action at the very beginning of the war in 1914. And Marc, shell-shocked by what he saw and experienced, soon changed his opinion. In 1915 he wrote:

"War is one of the most evil things to which we sacrificed ourselves."
On March 4, 1916 he was killed in action

Answer 3

Franz Marc Biography

Answer 4

Career:
Marc was born in Munich and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich starting in 1900. In 1903 and 1907 he spent time in Paris and discovered a strong affinity for the work of Vincent van Gogh. Marc developed an important friendship with the artist August Macke in 1910. In 1911 he formed the Der Blaue Reiter artist circle with Macke, Wassily Kandinsky, and other artists who decided to split off from the Neue Künstlervereinigung movement. He showed several of his works in the first Der Blaue Reiter exhibition at the Thannhauser Gallery in Munich between December 1911 and January 1912. The exhibition was the apex of the German expressionist movement and also showed in Berlin, Köln, Gömpi, and Frankfurt. In 1912, Marc also met Robert Delaunay, whose use of color and futurism was the next major influence on Marc's work. Marc began becoming increasingly influenced by futurism and cubism, and his art became increasingly stark and abstract in nature.

His name was on a list of notable artists to be withdrawn from combat in World War I. Before the orders were carried out, he was killed by a grenade explosion while riding a horse on patrol in the Battle of Verdun (1916).


Style and legacy:
Most of Marc's mature work portrays animals, usually in natural settings. His work is characterized by bright primary color, an almost cubist portrayal of the animals, stark simplicity and a profound sense of emotion, which garnered notice in influential circles even in his own time.

Franz Marc's best known painting is probably Tierschicksale (also known as Animal Destinies or Fate of the Animals) completed in 1913, which hangs in the Basel Kunstmuseum in Basel.

Marc made some sixty prints, in woodcut and lithography.

In October 1998, several of Marc's paintings garnered record prices at Christie's art auction house in London, including Rote Rehe I (Red Deer I), which sold for £3.30m. However this record was exceeded in October 1999, when Der Wasserfall (The Waterfall) was sold by Sotheby's in London, to a private collector, for £5.06m. This price set a record for both Franz Marc's work, and 20th century German painting

Answer 5

It is hard to find any "fun" fact about Marc. He was a very serious guy, religious, philosophical, intense, who died young fighting in WW1. However he did believe animals were both more beautiful and more spiritual than man. That's kinda fun to think about.
