Franz Marc painted mainly animals in an original and characteristic style. His focus on animals is attributed to his pure spirit as an artist who felt a special affiliation with animals. Marc changed his style, forms and colors as he developed his ideas on art, influenced by van Gogh, Cézanne, and Matisse, and by the artistic trends of Fauvism and Cubism. Marc created remarkably sophisticated animal paintings in the early 20th century. Over the course of the alteration of his style, Marc's affection for and identification with animals never changed. Marc lived during the turbulent and dramatic international changes that led to World War Ⅰ. Although Marc hoped that Europe would be purified and then reincarnated by that war, his hope was not realistic. Just before his death, one of his last abstract works suggests his concept of his value to the world. Marc's ideas about art and the world were admirably pure, and his true affection for animals was the basis of his art, which contributed to his peculiar optimism. Franz Marc's death marked the end of his creations, but he will be remembered as the first painter to convey pure affection for animals in the history of Western art.
