Franz Marc - German Expressionist Movement Art Tie

The German military recognised how important the art of Franz Marc would be and issued orders to remove him from military service during World War I. Marc was killed in battle before the order was executed, but many of his wonderful expressionist works now hang in museums and other collections. He is considered one of the most important artists of the German expressionist movement, and he was a founding member of the art journal Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). He painted this image entitled "Roe Deer in the Forest" in 1914.
