Editing Franz Marc (section)

===Der Blaue Reiter===
In 1911, Marc founded the ''[[Der Blaue Reiter]]'' journal, which became the center of an artist circle, along with Macke, [[Wassily Kandinsky]], and others who had decided to split off from the ''Neue Künstlervereinigung'' movement. Though  Marc showed several of his works in the first ''Der Blaue Reiter'' exhibition at the Thannhauser Galleries in Munich between December 1911 and January 1912, as it was the apex of the German [[expressionist]] movement, the exhibit also showed in Berlin, Cologne, Hagen, and Frankfurt. In 1912, Marc met [[Robert Delaunay]], whose use of color and the [[Cubist]] method was a major influence on Marc's work; fascinated by [[Futurism (art)|Futurism]] and Cubism, Marc created art that increasingly was stark in nature, painting natural abstract forms which found spiritual value in color.<ref>{{cite web |title=Der Blaue Reiter |trans-title=The Blue Rider |url=https://www.theartstory.org/movement/der-blaue-reiter/ |website=The Art Story |access-date=8 January 2021 }}</ref> He painted ''The Tiger'' and ''Red Deer'' in 1912 and ''[[The Tower of Blue Horses]]'', ''[[The Foxes (painting)|The Foxes]]'', and ''[[Fate of the Animals]]'' in 1913.<ref name="Carl_2013"/>
