Description

The painting is an oil on canvas, with dimensions 57.5 x 73 centimeters. It is in the collection of the Saarland Museum, in Saarbrücken.[1][2] The picture depicts a young horse in the foreground, standing with its legs in a balanced position. There is a small stream at his side, and behind the horse, we can see a flowering plant in front of a mountainous landscape. The horse has a blue color, while the mountains and the sky alternate between the red, yellow, blue and orange colours.

Analysis

In this period of "The New Painting," Marc was attempting to enter into the spirit of the horse, in a non-western way.[3]

In 2016, the work was part of a lecture, "Meisterwerke im Dialog III".[4]

gollark: So inform them, don't force them to not do things.
gollark: I mean, our government does that for some stuff (drugs) and it's quite bad.
gollark: Giving governments the power to stop people who want to from doing things to themselves *at all* is somewhat abusable and problematic.
gollark: > @a rustian spy why yes?In order to not restrict freedom and in order to not have some government department decide what things are Clearly Bad™.
