![]() Like other artists of the pre-World War I avant-garde period - cubists, futurists and those from the expressionist arts collective "Die Brücke" (literally, "the bridge") - Marc did not paint nature as he saw it. "Marc always questioned the relationship between humans, creatures and creation," Cathrin Klingsöhr-Leroy, director of the Franz Marc Museum in Bavaria's Kochel am See, told DW in 2016, on the occasion of an exhibition at the museum honoring the centennial celebration of his death on March 4, 1916. A tree could be blue or a hare purple, resulting in whimsical worlds that could easily rival modern-day photo filters. He countered these beliefs with his art, painting innocent animals that harmonized with nature and wildly colored tableaux. He thought his contemporaries were too materialistic, too intellectual and too prone to believing in technology.
