Biography:
One of three leader of the German art group, the Blaue Reiter, Franz Marc was noted for his paintings of animals. He initially studied theology in Munich, but began painting as a spiritual activity. His focus on animals was a result of his profound religious devotion because he admired the harmonious and divine interaction between animals and nature. After learning painting in Italy and France, Marc returned to Munich to help Kandinsky found the Blaue Reiter group in 1911. Franz was killed in WWI before he had a chance to create a substantial amount of work.
