The artwork titled “Wild Pigs (Boar and sow)” was created by Franz Marc in 1913. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is a wildlife painting. It measures 73 x 57.5 cm and is currently housed in the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany.
The artwork features a dynamic and vibrant depiction of wild pigs, characterized by bold colors and dramatic brush strokes typical of Expressionism. The use of blue hues and contrasting colors creates a vivid and emotional portrayal, emphasizing the forms and movements of the animals within the natural environment. The expressive style aims to convey the inner essence and energy of the creatures, rather than a realistic representation, aligning with Franz Marc’s distinctive artistic approach.
