Cattle (Rinder) (Marc)

“Rinder” (Cattle in German) is an abstract and dynamic composition where Franz Marc explores the tension and energy of the animal world. Two bovines, one red and the other blue-green, seem to face each other. Their forms are deconstructed and merge with an equally fragmented landscape. Rainbows of color and lines of force structure the canvas, creating a sense of movement and conflict. The palette is rich and expressive, dominated by yellow, red, green, and blue. Marc is not seeking to tell a story, but to translate into paint the primal forces that animate his subjects. It is a vision where animals are vortexes of energy, centers of power that organize the apparent chaos of the natural world.
