About Long Yellow Horse

“Long Yellow Horse,” an oil on canvas painting created by Franz Marc in 1913, exemplifies the Cubism movement. This animal painting, with dimensions measuring 60.01 x 80.01 cm, is characterized by its vivid and expressive use of color and form.

The artwork depicts a yellow horse standing against a backdrop of abstract and fragmented shapes, suggesting a landscape with hills, trees, and possibly a building. The use of bold colors such as yellows, reds, and blues enhances the dynamic and emotional quality of the painting. The horse is rendered in a simplified and stylized manner, embodying the Cubist approach to breaking down natural forms into geometric shapes. The intersecting lines and planes create both a sense of movement and a flattened depth in the composition, typical of Franz Marc’s innovative style within the Cubist movement.
