Abstract works by Franz Marc combine vegetable forms and geometrical forms in a balanced composition. The colored segments of a circle in right of the image call reminiscence of works by Robert Delaunay, while the soft motif in left can be ascribed to Marc‘s typical style. What makes this work so interesting is how the left part of the composition enroaches upon the right part, which is clearly separated by the vertical dividing line. Another special aspect of this abstract drawing is how individual forms interlock, which hints at a greater compository context. The harmony of colors - the decisive element to add composure and expression to the watercolor - is particularly captivating. [KD/SM]
