About the piece

Painted in 1912, this work by Franz Marc is a quintessential example of German Expressionism, prioritizing emotional experience and symbolic color over literal representation. The composition features a bold blue cat in the foreground and a resting yellow cat behind it, set against a rhythmic backdrop of abstract hills and stylized foliage that vibrates with life.
