Two Nude Women 1 (Marc)

This watercolor is a Cubist study of the human form. Two nude women are depicted with geometric shapes and strong outlines. The bodies are deconstructed into planes and volumes, in a style reminiscent of the works of Picasso or Braque. Color is applied in transparent washes of blue, yellow, and red, not to describe reality, but to emphasize the structure of the composition. One of the women seems to hold a colored object, a yellow and blue plane that integrates into the play of forms. It is an intellectual and stylistic exploration of the figure, where Franz Marc applies the principles of the Parisian avant-garde to his own universe, seeking to create an art that is a construction of the mind rather than an imitation of the visible.
