Franz Marc

[Michael Lowrey]

Sorry that I'm a bit late in posting this: The noted German painter Franz Marc died on March 4, 1916 near Verdun. Marc is generally considered one of the most famous artists killed in war, along with August Macke, who fell on September 26, 1914. Both were significant members of the movement known as Expressionism.

Michael,

Thanks for posting this. I'm a Marc fan, and was thinking just the other day about him. My wife and I went to his Museum last summer while I was near Munich for a class. The museum was small, but worth the trip.

Thanks for this information. I see from the link to the Guggenheim Museum that Marc produced some works titled Sketchbook from the Field.

Michael or Paul, do you know whether these works can be seen online?

Chris,

His "Skizzenbuch aus dem Felde," was published as recently as 1993. I don't have a copy of this, unfortunately.

There are a few examples on-line.

Thanks for the information. I'll see whether I can track down a copy of the book through my local library.
