One of the most popular and reproducible paintings of the famous German avant-garde artist Franz Mark is the Blue Rider. This canvas stands apart in the artist’s work, standing out, in the first place, with an elusive charm and sincerity.
The horse depicted in the picture is somewhat like a strong, strong man in his prime. The work is written in the original manner peculiar to this artist: broken lines, color conveys a special meaning, which makes the image somewhat unusual – you will not see the blue horse every day.
The color solution chosen by the artist is very original. The background of the painting “Blue Horse” plays an equally important role as its main character – the blue horse. Not existing separately, these two elements are connected together, creating a new community.
Marc Franz has always emphasized the primary colors used in his work: the blue color has the strength and courage, but at the same time the spirituality; yellow – femininity, gentleness, sensuality; Red personifies rigidity, perseverance, but it is symbolically subordinate to yellow and blue, these colors suppress it.
In the work “Blue Horse” the artist used a large number of blue shades, making the figure of a horse very strong for perception. The silhouette of the animal itself also exudes expression and power. The picture of Marc Franz can not be treated neutral – it necessarily evokes emotions.
