The Tiger
Pictures by Franz Marc
Franz Marc's yellow tiger lies watchful among angular rocks of green, red and violet in this bold Expressionist painting from 1912. Marc painted animals because he believed they lived in harmony with nature, and here Cubist shapes meet his bright, singing color. For an art lover, or anyone with a bit of tiger in them.
