I love it!
I can’t get over the colors. The blue horse pictures are SO vivid.
The colors are amazing!
I love how they pop off the screen. 🙂
This is a beautiful piece, even through a screen I feel like I’m in the scene with them. Are you lucky enough to see it hanging somewhere?
Unfortunately, no. I came across this when I put together a horse unit study for my daughter a couple years ago. 🙂
Maybe one day – do you know where it is housed?
According to Wikipedia, it’s in the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
Rabia, I just found out what you girls were doing with art this Friday and had to check out the art. You have chosen one of my favorite artists, Franz Marc. As a matter of fact, I give mention of the Der Blaue Reiter Group to which he was a part, in my novel coming out in June. Crazy coincidence.
How cool! I actually know very little about him beyond the fact I love this painting! All sorts of funny coincidences turn up when people start posting on the same theme. 😀
I may find some time this weekend and put something up on this theme even though I posted on Friday. You’re right about coincidences–love it when it happens.
Simply stunning. Gorgeous choice, Rabia!
Thanks, Tami. 🙂
FRANZ MARC!! That’s his name! OMG thank you… I’ve been trying to find his stuff for ages but couldn’t remember his name!
I’m a big surrealist fan, but mostly Dali’s more impressive pieces. The Metamorphosis of Narcissus was my fave for a long time. There’s also a Magritte piece that reverse3s a mermaid, but it’s a dolphin head and human body. Also love Munch’s The Scream.
You’re welcome. 🙂
I do art appreciation with my kids, but we’re still in the Renaissance period, currently admiring Raphael’s work. It’ll take us a while to get to Dali!
What a lovely splash of color! It’s always a pleasure to see what you’re going to deliver to my Inbox next, and today’s offering didn’t disappoint. 🙂
Such a great idea!
I’d love to see one of your favorite art works, Kirsten. Feel free to join in and post a link back to you in these comments.
Also, I’m glad that you look forward to my posts in your Inbox. I can ask for no greater compliment!
That is an intriguing pciture. {SMILE}
