Munich

Animals and Color

Franz Marc, August Macke and Paul Klee, 1910–1914

In the Munich circle, Franz Marc turned to animals, which he saw as purer beings than people. August Macke stayed closer to the places and people he saw around him, and Paul Klee kept a link to real places.

• Marc's animals, from observed horses to near-abstract forms
• Macke's quieter path, and the 1914 journey to Tunisia with Klee
• Watercolors from the 1914 trip
