Franz Marc: Two Cats Blue and Yellow

Two slightly earlier works by Franz Marc are displayed next to the larger Tierschicksale. Two Cats, Blue and Yellow (Zwei Katzen, blau und gelb), 1912, and A Bison in Winter (The Red Bison) (Bison im Winter (Roter Bison)), 1913, are far more typical of the work by the most famous painter of the short-lived The Blue Rider movement. (The largest collection of Der Blaue Reiter paintings in the world is in the Lenbachhaus in Munich.)
