About In the Rain

The artwork, entitled “In the Rain,” was created by the artist Franz Marc in 1912. This piece, which is categorized within the Cubism art movement, was executed using oil on canvas. It is a genre painting with dimensions of 81 by 106 cm and is currently housed in the Lenbachhaus in Munich, Germany.

The artwork exhibits the characteristic fragmented and abstracted forms typical of Cubism. Through a vibrant palette dominated by bold colors such as reds, greens, and blues, the composition conveys energy and movement. The interplay of geometric shapes and dynamic lines evokes the sensation of rain, while the presence of animals, particularly the white dog, brings an element of nature to the tableau. This masterful synthesis of form and color creates a visual rhythm that mirrors the environment’s chaotic yet harmonious nature during a rainy day.
