Franz Marc was a highly influential German painter, printmaker and writer who became greatly involved with the German school of expressionism. Marc participated in the expressionist scene in many capacities, not only as an artist, but also a writer and founding member of Der Blaue Reiter, a journal that became synonymous with the movement and promoted expressionism to a wider viewing and creating public.

Born in Munich in the later nineteenth century, Marc inherited his artistic abilities from his father, Wilhelm, who was a respected and professional landscape painter. Much of Marc's strict work ethic and single minded focus came from the family's inclination to Calvinism. At the turn of the century, Marc escaped the quite traditional confines of his family life and headed to school at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, where his creative path was shaped by teachers that included Gabriel von Hackl, a historicist painter, and Wilhelm von Diez. After several years of studying art in Munich, Marc spent several years in France, primarily Paris. There he visited the great museums of that metropolis, copying many of the art world's greatest works, studying the most compelling artistic techniques and beginning to develop his own style. During this time Marc found his way into many of Paris's most influential artistic circles and interfaced with many expressionist painters, that soon adopted him into the scene. It was also at this time that Marc discovered a profound attraction to the works of Vincent Van Gogh, an affection that is evident in many of Marc's later prints and paintings.

Marc threw himself into the expressionist scene wholeheartedly, returning to Germany to pursue it. After creating the Der Blaue Reiter journal, Marc spearheaded an exhibition considered to be the epitome of German expressionism. The show included works not just by Marc, but by friends and associates including Wassily Kandinsky. The wild success of this show and its renown allowed it to travel throughout the country to locales such as Berlin, Frankfurt and Cologne.

Shortly after this exhibition Marc was introduced to cubism and futurism, two styles that he eagerly absorbed and incorporated into his work. Working both on canvas as well as creating woodcuts, Marc found his niche as he created scenes emphasizing natural settings, primary colors and a cubist approach to the subject. Marc ascribed great meaning to individual colors that he used, for instance, blue indicated masculinity and spirituality and yellow represented feminine joy. Many similar paintings can be found in the Abstract Canvas gallery.  Franz Marc enjoyed renown in his own lifetime, though many of his works were destroyed later in his life as Hitler came to power, suppressed modern art and condemned nearly 200 of Marc's paintings to destruction.
