Strong influences of Fauvism and Cubist reductionism are mixed with some excellent observation in this very pleasing painting. (I fondly recall one student observing a resemblance to a peeled potato…)
Along with his friend Wassily Kandisnky, Franz Marc was a founder member of the hugely important and influential group of artists collectively known as Der Blaue Reiter - the fairly loose association of several pioneering international artists who were united by the importance they placed upon colour and a belief that visual art could transcend cultural and political boundaries.
