Franz Marc: The Complete Works Volume I

Résumé du livre

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 first of a three-part catalogue raisonne of Frank Marc's work, is devoted to the oil paintings. The book includes all 244 paintings, which have been newly researched and documented by the Stadtische Galerie at the Lenbachhaus in Munich. The chronology of the paintings has been thoroughly revised and updated and each entry provides details of technique, provenance, exhibitions and literature. All the paintings are illustrated, most of them in color. .
