Marc believed that colour had a vocabulary of emotional keys that we instinctively understand, much in the same way that we understand music. This language of colour was one tool that Marc used to raise his art to a higher ‘spiritual’ plane, another was his choice of subject.

Franz Marc painted animals as they symbolised an age of innocence, free from the materialism and corruption of his own time. Animals in Marc’s art are seldom painted in isolation. They are viewed as idealised creatures in perfect harmony with the natural world they inhabit.
