 * About the Artwork© AllPosters.com Wassily Kandinsky (1886 – 1944), the father of abstract art, also a skilled musician, strongly associated music with art. Kandinsky, who named works after musical terms, saw color when he listened to music, and believed color could visually express music’s timber, pitch and volume. At age 30, Kandinsky’s artistic career began when he left a legal career to pursue artistic studies after seeing Monet’s “Haystacks.” Passionately compelled to create, Kandinsky believed that the purity of this desire would communicate itself to viewers of his work. ||

Franz Marc Franz Marc was a German painter who lived from 1880-1916. He studied at the Munich Art academy and then founded the Blaue Reiter art circle. Franz originally wanted to become a priest, but obviously he decided on becoming an artist. He met Wassily Kandinski at the Art Academy, and together they formed an art association called the Blue Rider. He was very sensitive, and had a love for animals; therefore, he paints animals in many of his paintings. He was killed fighting in WWI. http://www.artelino.com/articles/franz_marc.asp http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/marc_franz.html [|www.google.com]
