The Foxes
Franz Marc · 1913
Why it's great
Marc turned two foxes into red and blue slices, in the broken-up style of Cubism and Futurism that he had seen on a trip to Paris. He painted it in 1913, just before World War I, in which he was killed at the age of 36.

Franz Marc was born in Munich, Germany, and loved painting animals as a symbol of purity. He co-founded the Blue Rider group with Wassily Kandinsky, and he used bold colors like blue and yellow to express feelings. He lived in Bavaria. He died in World War I in 1916 at age 36.
