About Two Horses

The artwork titled “Two Horses” is a creation of the artist Franz Marc, dating back to the year 1913. It is categorized within the Cubism art movement and is recognized as an animal painting. Currently, the artwork is part of a private collection.

In the artwork, Franz Marc presents a non-traditional portrayal of two horses, utilizing the stylistic approaches characteristic of the Cubist movement. This piece is defined by its abstracted forms and fragmented perspective, which break away from representational accuracy and instead focus on capturing the essence of the subjects. The horses are rendered in a combination of dark and light tones, set against a vibrant background with bold patches of color, which may be indicative of the emotional or spiritual resonance these creatures hold for Marc. The composition is dynamic, with sharp lines and angled shapes contributing to a sense of movement and energy. The use of color and form demonstrates Marc’s exploration of the deeper, metaphysical qualities of the natural world, a theme prevalent in his oeuvre.
