If I could rank my favorite paintings, the first might be Foxes and the second might be Deer in the Woods II by German Expressionist Franz Marc. Animals were a favorite subject of Franz Marc. I especially like his paintings of deer. There is so much emotion and movement in his paitnings, it's almost overwhelming. At the same time, the bold primary colors always lift my spirits.
Tragically, like fellow artist August Macke, Franz Marc died young in WWI. I often wonder what he would have painted had his life been longer.
Franz Marc is one of my favorite artists! I wish I could paint like him.
