Franz Marc: Picture 'Two Horses' (1911/12), framed

Product information "Franz Marc: Picture 'Two Horses' (1911/12), framed"

It was an enormously eventful time in which the 'Two Horses' were created: Franz Marc met August Macke in 1910, and on New Year's Day 1911 he met Gabriele Münter, Marianne Werefkin and Wassily Kandinsky for the first time - through Alexej Jawlensky. Within a short space of time, the members of one of the most important groups of artists of the 20th century were thus assembled. The 'Blue Rider' was founded in December 1911, and Kandinsky later mused on its name: 'We both loved blue, Marc - horses, I - riders. So the name came naturally'. The original of the work, painted in mixed media, belongs to the collection of the Kunsthalle Hamburg. Museum reproduction in high-quality fine art giclée process on the finest genuine laid watercolour paper. Limited edition of 499 copies. Fine solid wood framing in black with gold, matt patina, dust-proof glazing. Format 40 x 53 cm (H/W).
