"The White Cat," Franz Marc, 1912.
Marc (1880-1916) was one of the leading figures of German Expressionism and a founder of the art journal "The Blue Rider" which ended up giving its name to the artists who followed it.
Marc loved animals and the natural world, and often used them as symbols of dignity and peace in a turbulent world. Here, for instance, the cat is white, possible symbolizing purity, and rests cozily against a background of strong yellow and red, the turbulent world.
Marc was drafted in the German army during WWI and died at the siege of Verdun. Later, the Third Reich labeled his work "degenerate" and banned it, most of it being sold to collectors outside Germany to finance the Reich.
Like, how could this sweet painting of a sleepy cat be degenerate?
From the Kunstmuseum Moritzburg Halle (Saale), Halle, Germany.

"The Riding School," Franz Marc, 1913.
Marc (1880-1916) was a German painter and printmaker, one of the leading figures of the Expressionist movement. He was a founding member of the journal, "Der Blaue Reiter" (The Blue Rider) which spawned its own artistic collective and mini-movement inside Expressionism.
He was known for his fondness for depicting animals and his use of bright color...we don't get the latter here because this is a woodcut. But instead we get bold graphic lines that depict a horse frightened by a dog, and about to throw its rider.
Marc's depiction of fear was also his way of expressing his own fears of the coming of World War I, and grimly is a reminder of his passing. He was conscripted into the German Army and died in 1916 at the siege of Verdun.
The Third Reich banned his works as "degenerate" which in his case meant they just didn't like Expressionism. Luckily, they weren't above selling his so-called "degenerate" works to raise funds, so his work survived WWII.

"Cats, Red and White," Franz Marc, 1912.
Marc (1880-1916) was a painter and graphic artist who was a major figure in German Expressionism.
Deeply engaged with Munich's avant-garde scene, he started a journal, Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) which sought to diverse artistic styles under a single, almost spiritual pursuit. His circle included Kandinsky and other major figures.
Many of his works are of animals in a natural environment, usually with bright colors, like we have here. I don't think there's ever been a cat in that particular shade, but that vibrant green background really makes it pop.
Marc was drafted into the German military during WWI, and died at the Siege of Verdun, only 36. Under the Nazi regime, his work was declared "degenerate" and officially banned; thankfully his body of work survived and is the centerpiece of many museum and gallery collections today, and fetching high prices at auction.

"Tyrol," Franz Marc, 1914.
Marc (1880-1916) was a German Expressionist painter. Although a prominent figure in German Expressionism, his career was tragically short.
He was a founder of The Blue Rider, an arts journal that became the voice of a circle of artists of the time, including Kandinsky. The were Blue Rider exhibitions, where he showed his work and collected good reviews. However, at the outbreak of WWI, he was drafted by the German army and died during the Battle of Verdun.
The Third Reich declared his art "degenerate" and had it pulled from museums and sold to raise money. At least one painting was looted from the home of a Jewish man who was sent to the camps; it was restored to his family only a few years ago. Now Marc's work gets record prices at auctions.
From the Piankothek der Moderne, Munich. (I'm not focusing on that museum solely this week, I swear! I've chosen these randomly but they're all from the same museum...)

Per #Jeopardy, no less than #Picasso himself at least partially validated my theorized progression #Cezanne → #FranzMarc → Picasso
Disclaimer: I have absolutely 0 #art education so this is probably a really stupid take.
