Blue Horse I by Franz Marc
Blue Horse I (1911)
Franz Marc | Expressionism | Oil on canvas
A bright blue young horse faces us with its head tilted to one side, in front of hills of red, yellow, violet, and orange. Marc once wrote that animals seemed to him more beautiful and cleaner than people!
Did you know? Marc had his own color code. He wrote that blue was "spiritual," yellow was "gentle" and "happy," and red was "brutal and heavy."
