Publisher's Synopsis
Franz Marc (1880-1916) was one of the most important members of the Blue Rider group of painters, together with other outstanding artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Munter, August Macke, Paul Klee and Alfred Kubin. The group marked the high point of German Expressionism and had a profound influence on international art during the brief period from its formation to the beginning of the First World War.;This volume, the second of a three-part catalogue raisonne of Franz Marc's work, is devoted to the watercolours, works on paper, sculpture and decorative arts. All the pieces included have been newly researched and documented by the Stadtische Galerie at the Lenbachhaus in Munich. Each entry provides details of technique, provenance, exhibitions and literature. All the works are illustrated, many of them in colour. The resulting volume is the ultimate reference work for art lovers, art historians and collectors and offers fresh insights into the work of Franz Marc and the Blue Rider group as a whole.
