The Yellow Cow by Franz Marc
The Yellow Cow by Franz Marc
The Yellow Cow (1911)
Franz Marc | Expressionism | Oil on canvas
A big, happy yellow cow leaps across a colorful landscape of blue mountains and red hills. This is one cheerful cow!
Did you know? Marc had his own color code: blue stood for the spiritual and the masculine, and yellow for gentle, feminine joy. Art historian Mark Rosenthal even thinks this cow is a hidden portrait of Marc's wife, Maria Franck!
