The Tiger by Franz Marc: Influences of Cubism by Picasso and Paul Cezanne | Artwork Explained

Animals are the hallmark of one twentieth-century painter; above any other - the German artist Franz Marc. In the Lenbachhaus in Munich hangs one of the finest of them - "The Tiger" which he painted in 1912, when he was 32. It's not a tiger such as any Romantic artist of the nineteenth century would have painted; not a hunting trophy, nor a beast in a zoo.

Excellent. Though the way that artists depict animals always says more about the artist's views of animals than it does about any animal depicted. But I'm sure most people already grasp that. That is always assuming that the animal depicted is meant to be solely that, and not something else...this is art after all...sodding metaphors and symbols up to the armpits and raining down on the head.
