Pigs

Pigs" is an oil on canvas created by Franz Marc in 1913, exemplifying his intense Expressionism style. Unlike his typical peaceful animal depictions, this animal painting portrays animals in a stark, brutal manner, possibly reflecting Marc’s complex relationship with his subjects. The work showcases the Der Blaue Reiter style he co-founded with Wassily Kandinsky. Currently housed at the Kunstmuseum in Basel, "Pigs" remains a powerful but unsettling example of Marc’s exploration of raw emotion through animal imagery.
