Born in Germany, ( 1880 – 1916 )
When he was young he wanted to
become a priest. Then he decided to
study philosophy and changed his
mind again to become an artist.
He started a famous art group called
The Blue Rider. They were a group of
artists who painted abstract
expressionist paintings.
The Blue Riders believed that colors,
shapes and forms connected with
sounds and music, and tried to create
colors that could express emotion.
His favorite subjects were animals and
painted them in bright colors.
The colors he painted had meaning
and emotion. The three primary
colors red, yellow, and blue were had
meaning in his art, blue meant
masculine and spiritual, red meant
violence, and yellow was feminine,
joyful and happy.
Marc volunteered to join the German
military and died in action in World
War I at the age of only 36.
