Artist: Franz Marc
Nationality: German
Born: 1880
Died: 1911
Bio: Franz's father worked as a professor at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. He studied at the Munich Art Academy but originally expressed a desire to join the priesthood.
Franc was deeply influenced by the modern painters of the time, such as Gauguin, van Gogh and Kandinsky. In 1911 he founded the almanac "Der Blaue Reiter". He was a principal member of the First German Salon d'Automne in 1913 and a pioneer of the Abstract Movement during the early 20th Century.
Tragically, Marc was killed in World War I at the age of thirty-six, but not before he had created some of the most exciting and touching paintings of the Expressionist movement.
