{"product_id":"franz-marc-9783791330945","title":"Franz Marc","description":"\u003cp\u003eNow available in paperback  this overview of a brief but brilliant career focuses on the symbolic poignancy of Franz Marcs paintings and his underlying vision of a world populated largely by animals. Before his tragic death at Verdun in 1916  Franz Marc made an enormous contribution to German Expressionist painting. A co-founder with Wassily Kandinsky of the Blue Rider Group  Marc and his fellow artists sought to make sense of the destruction around them through symbolism and abstraction. The curator of Americas first exhibition of Marcs paintings  Marc Rosenthal offers penetrating insight into the artists transcendent paintings  in which feelings of despair and exaltation are brought to life through images of animals  landscapes  and pure abstraction. Seventy-one full-color plates demonstrate the brilliant tones and bold style that characterize Marcs work. The accompanying text provides an important biographical perspective and critical appraisal of one of the most significant artists to emerge amid the chaos of early twentieth century Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646786265141,"sku":"ByrdShop_3791330942","price":67.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783791330945.jpg?v=1781678459","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/franz-marc-9783791330945","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
