About The Dream

“The Dream,” created by Franz Marc in 1912, is a symbolic painting associated with the Cubism art movement. This artwork is housed in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain.

The artwork vividly portrays an otherworldly scene characterized by bold colors and abstract forms. Central to the composition is the figure of a seated nude, seemingly lost in contemplation. Surrounding her are various animals, including a lion, a deer, and two ethereal blue horses, rendered in a distinctly geometric style typical of Cubism. To the left stands a yellow house with a red roof, adding a structural element to the composition. The overall image conveys a dreamlike atmosphere, blending the mythical with the tangible, inviting viewers into an enigmatic and contemplative visual experience.
