Another!

German painter Franz Marc is well known for his colorful portrayals of animals and his extraordinary use of color. This #Caturday we share "Cats on a Red Cloth," which was completed by the artist in 1909-10.

In the present work, the use of just a few colors (blue, green, and red) in various shades and the nervous brushwork are results of his study of Vincent van Gogh's oeuvre. Marc was searching for the artistic means to reveal the innermost quality of the motifs that was hidden behind an illusory reality. His work was not yet liberated from local color. In 1909 and 1910, he was also grappling with the subjects of the animal and of the human being.
