Sketch #6 – The Fox
UTOPIA OF ORDER
This vibrant work depicts a stylized fox composed of fragmented, prismatic shapes in warm oranges and reds, set against a contrasting background of cool blues and greens. The animal’s dynamic, angular form and the interplay of geometric planes reflect the influence of Cubism and Futurism, capturing the creature’s essence and movement rather than its realistic appearance.
Sketch #30 – Cluster of 4 Horses
ANIMAL METAPHYSICS
This vibrant composition centers on a cluster of four azure horses, whose soft, overlapping forms stand in stark contrast to the sharp, crystalline shards of warm yellow and orange in the background. The painting captures a sense of mystic unity, using the interplay of organic curves and geometric light to symbolize the spiritual harmony between the animals and the cosmos.
Sketch #10 – The Greedy Moon
ABSTRACTION OF WAR
A luminous, distorted yellow moon with an eye-like center dominates the upper canvas, appearing to be besieged by jagged, dark ribbons of deep purple and crimson. The swirling, aggressive lines and sharp color contrasts evoke a sense of cosmic tension and ominous energy, reflecting a dramatic departure from pastoral harmony into a more turbulent abstraction.
Sketch #8 – From the Days of Creation
CREATION
Swirling, organic forms in fiery reds, oranges, and luminous yellows dominate the composition, seemingly bursting with primal energy against a backdrop of deep violets and blues. The dynamic interplay of these contrasting colors and fluid shapes evokes the chaotic yet harmonious forces of genesis, visualizing the spiritual essence of creation itself.
Sketch #31 – The Swallow
ANIMAL METAPHYSICS
A stylized swallow rendered in deep violets and blues rests amidst a geometric lattice of cool greens and soft teals. The composition blends organic curves with sharp, intersecting lines, creating a harmonious balance between the creature and its abstract surroundings.
Sketch #14 – The Peaceful Horse
ANIMAL METAPHYSICSA solitary horse, rendered in soft blues and whites, bows its head in a gesture of quiet repose amidst a vibrant, geometric landscape. The surrounding fractured planes of deep reds, greens, and yellows frame the animal, emphasizing a harmonious spiritual connection between the gentle creature and its abstract environment.
Sketch #20 – Cluster of Deer and Abstract Shapes
ANIMAL METAPHYSIC
A cluster of deer, rendered in warm ochres and rusty reds, stands alert amidst a fractured, vertical landscape of deep blues and emerald greens. The composition merges the animals with their surroundings through sharp, crystalline geometries and piercing shafts of light, creating a sense of mystical unity between nature and the cosmos.
Sketch #27 – Hunting Horses
ANIMAL METAPHYSICS
Dynamic blue horses charge across a vivid landscape of sweeping red and yellow hills, their elongated forms conveying a powerful sense of urgent motion. The sharp contrast between the cool tones of the animals and the warm, energetic background emphasizes the raw, untamed spirit of nature in flight.
Sketch #25 – Two Deer
ANIMAL METAPHYSICS
Two deer, rendered in warm golden-yellow hues, are depicted in a moment of quiet intimacy, with one resting on the ground while the other stands alert. The surrounding landscape of deep swirling blues and earthen reds embraces the animals, using fluid lines and symbolic color to emphasize the harmonious bond between the creatures and their natural environment.
Sketch #32 – Landscape with Sun, Mountains and Group of Horses
CREATION
A radiant sun dominates the composition, casting golden light over undulating blue mountains and fluid, rhythmic landscapes. In the foreground, a group of resting horses absorbs this celestial energy, their soft forms blending harmoniously with the organic curves of the natural world.

A Living Archive
The 37th Sketch is not a finished product, but an ongoing dialogue with history. Transforming Franz Marc’s sketches requires deep contemplation of his color theory and original intent.
We have chosen a path of deliberate slowness. New works are released organically, one by one—mirroring Marc’s own search for “spiritual truth” in art.
