Description

Franz Marc's The Foxes (1913) famous painting. Original from Wikimedia Commons. Digitally enhanced by rawpixel and Bob Pardue.

The Foxes (Die Füchse) is a 1913 painting by the German Expressionist artist Franz Marc. The work features two cub-like foxes standing on a landscape with vibrant colors. Marc painted this work in an abstract manner that would become a hallmark of his mature style.

The famous painting has been widely acclaimed as one of the most important works of 20th century German Expressionism. Marc was a passionate advocate for spiritual liberation through the avant-garde and was inspired by the expressive qualities of animals to create his works.
He captures the wild and untamed beauty of nature. The painting is believed to be a homage to his beloved pet dog "Lotte". Marc's use of color in The Foxes was revolutionary at the time, as he used bright colors to represent the spirit of the animals.

His use of yellow in particular was meant to evoke a sense of spiritual freedom and joy. The animals appear almost dream-like and surreal as they stand in a misty landscape, depicting a sense of individualistic freedom.

The Foxes picture is a profound work of art that speaks deeply of Marc's personal beliefs and expresses the melancholic beauty of nature. It is an iconic work of Expressionism that goes on to inspire generations of following artists and art collectors.
