“The First Animals,” created by Franz Marc in 1913, is an artwork that belongs to the Cubism art movement. This animal painting, measuring 39.05 x 46.67 cm, is part of a private collection.
The artwork is characterized by its vivid depiction of animals in a style that embraces the abstract and geometric facets typical of Cubism. Dominated by bold, angular shapes and fragmented forms, the painting features vibrant blue and red hues, suggestively portraying the animals in a stylized and non-representative manner. The use of dynamic lines and intersecting planes creates a sense of movement and energy, reflecting Marc’s innovative approach to capturing the essence of the animal subjects.
