Product information "Franz Marc: Picture 'Deer in a flower garden' (1913), framed"
Franz Marc spent many hours observing animals in their habitat. The German painter tried to see nature through the eyes of the deer. In this way, he allowed the environment to permeate the animal and the deer to become an integral part of it, to be one with it. In 1912, Marc became acquainted with the dynamism of the Italian Futurists and, in Paris, the colours of Robert Delaunay's Cubism, 'Orphism'. From then on, he deviated from his naturalistic depiction and structured the surface of the picture with radiant areas of colour. Combined with the contrasts of light and dark, he created luminous and atmospheric paintings. Deer often appeared as a motif for the artist and co-founder of the artist community 'Der Blaue Reiter'. This may also have been due to the fact that he kept two orphaned deer in his garden in Sindelsdorf, south of Munich. In 1911, Marc was still painting his deer in more robust forms and realistic colours, even though he had already moved away from the pure depiction of nature.
