Private collection.
Using the style of Cubism, Three Horses depicts wild horses grazing on fields in a peaceful manner. This is one of Franz Marc's more unique depictions of animals, as this was one of his few attempts to use a different style other than expressionism or Der Blaue Reiter.
Three Horses is an artwork subjective to interpretation, and stands out from Franz Marc's other pieces due to the rarity of using abstract shapes for his depiction of the animals.
Franz Marc only took this approach to a new style of painting due to attending the Futurist Show held at Strum Gallery in Berlin, April 1911. Franz used cubism to emphasis and heighten the sentiment and realism presented through his paintings, and has said that he wants to honor Pablo Picasso by using cubism.
His use of vivid abstract shapes and intensity of the darker colors in "Three Horses" reflects the events occurring in his life at the time of creation.
Events that occurred during the time of this art piece's creation range from being enrolled into the army to fight in World War 1 and a thirst to explore what other styles he can present animals in.
Created towards the end of the cubism style of art era, it is one of the last paintings using true cubism painted by an acclaimed artist, and signals the drop in popularity of cubism. Though not as well known as other pieces of art from Franz Marc, the painting is still recognized as one of Franz's more unique style.
The wildlife subject is rebuilt stroke by stroke in oil, giving the finished canvas the depth expected of expressionist oil painting wall decor.
Oil on canvas remains the reference standard for expressionist reproductions. Our artists apply pigment by hand, blending the wildlife tones directly on the surface for depth that a printed wildlife oil painting simply cannot match.
expressionist canvas wall art is one of the easiest ways to warm a dining room. Pair this piece with natural linen, dark wood, or brushed brass, and let the hand painted surface do the rest.
Whether the search term is wildlife oil painting, dining room wall art, or expressionist oil painting wall decor, this hand painted canvas delivers the same thing: a real painted surface, made to your chosen dimensions.
