"Blue Horses" is a famous painting by the great Expressionist Franz Marc. Marc's use of the color blue, which symbolized hope, in the image, hints that he saw the coming war as an opportunity for positive change. For him the apocalypse was not just about destruction so much as the promise of a new world. His analysis of colour associated blue with the masculine, yellow with the feminine, and red with the physical - often violent - world. Marc's work embodies the heightened anxieties of early twentieth century Europe, as people struggled with a rapidly changing, urban world on the precipice of war.
