Before his career was tragically cut short by World War I, Marc had gained recognition as a co-founder with Wassily Kandinsky of the influential Blue Rider Group. Marc, whose primary focus was the world of animals, is now recognized as one of the greatest German Expressionists. This chronologically arranged book brings together more than 300 of Marc's works. It includes perceptive comments about the artist's life, examples of his correspondence, and insight into the unique symbolic language he employed to make sense of the difficult times in which he lived.
