Franz Marc (1880–1916) was a pioneering figure in German Expressionism and co-founder of the influential Der Blaue Reiter movement. His work sought to express the spiritual essence of animals through color and form. The Foxes, painted in 1913, exemplifies Marc’s visionary approach—melding abstraction with deep symbolism and emotional resonance.
