  1. "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.
