Franz Marc, a German artist, was born on February 8, 1880. This artist is very original and seems a bit ahead of his time. Although his life was short lived, dying in battle in World War II, he encompasses the cubism movement. He is known mainly for his paintings of animals and his vivid use of color. His artwork becomes more abstract as time goes by. Although he is not widely known in the United States, he is an influential artist in Germany of his time period.
