About the piece

Painted in 1913, 'Deer in the Forest I' is a quintessential example of Franz Marc's mature expressionist style. The work features a group of deer harmoniously integrated into a fragmented forest landscape, where light and form are broken into dynamic geometric facets. Marc’s use of symbolic color and rhythmic composition creates a spiritual, almost mystical atmosphere that celebrates the inner life of the animal world.
