The artwork, titled “Mountain Goats,” was crafted by Franz Marc in 1914. This piece, which belongs to the Cubism movement, is a wildlife painting and measures 20.96 x 13.97 cm. Currently held in a private collection, it exhibits Marc’s distinct approach to nature studies.
In “Mountain Goats,” bright and vibrant colors dominate the composition, creating a sense of energy and movement. The artwork features abstracted forms and fractured planes characteristic of Cubism, with various geometric elements intersecting in a dynamic arrangement. The goats are depicted in a stylized manner, harmonizing with the surrounding landscape through bold lines and rhythmic patterns. The painting’s palette includes greens, yellows, blues, and reds, drawing the viewer’s eye through the intricate structure of the piece. Across the canvas, the integration of wildlife and abstract forms exemplifies Marc’s unique artistic vision and his capacity to fuse natural subject matter with avant-garde techniques.
