About Sleeping Deer

“Sleeping Deer,” created by Franz Marc in 1913, belongs to the Cubism art movement. An animal painting measuring 37.78 x 44.77 cm, this artwork is part of a private collection.

The artwork depicts a serene scene of a deer lying down in a vibrant and abstract setting characteristic of Cubism. The deer’s form is simplified and fragmented into geometric shapes, infused with a spectrum of rich, bold colors. The background, filled with dynamic lines and contrasting hues, complements the tranquil yet structured form of the deer, emphasizing the harmony between nature and abstract art. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the overlapping shapes, captures the essence and tranquility of the sleeping animal, encapsulating the viewer within a dreamscape of color and form.
