Franz Marc: 4 animal pictures in a set, framed

Franz Marc and the power of colour: Franz Marc founded the legendary 'Blue Rider' with Wassily Kandinsky and August Macke. He paved the way for an art in which colours acquired a symbolic meaning far beyond naturalistic representation. Four of Franz Marc's most famous paintings appear as painting replicas in outstanding quality: for a brilliant, authentic reproduction, the original artwork was transferred directly onto artist's canvas using the fine art giclée process and stretched onto a stretcher frame. Limited edition of 1,000 copies each. Framed in a silver-coloured solid wood frame. Format 29 x 37 cm (H/W) each. ars mundi exclusive edition. 'The Big Blue Horses' (1911): Blue symbolised the masculine, but also the superior spiritual, freedom and infinity. The horse - Franz Marc's favourite motif - is the symbol of life par excellence. Original: Walker Art Centre, Minneapolis, USA. 'The White Cat' (Cat on a Yellow Cushion) (1912): White is a symbol of the unknown, infinite possibilities and the mystical - concepts that Franz Marc liked to relate to women and femininity, just like the cat and the colour yellow. Original: Halle an der Saale, Moritzburg State Gallery. 'Cows yellow-red-green' (1912): Like the ancient Egyptians, Marc saw in the colour yellow the feminine, the 'gentle, cheerful, sensual'. Green as a symbiosis of yellow and blue creates growth and wisdom. Original: Munich, Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus. 'Red Deer II' (1912): For Franz Marc, red means love, warmth and passion - but at the same time also innocence and vulnerability, which is (also) symbolised by the deer. Original: Kochel am See, Franz Marc Museum, on loan from the Bavarian State Painting Collections. All four Franz Marc paintings in the set.
