"The Sheep" is a well-known painting by the great Expressionist Franz Marc. Nature and animals, for Marc, were a means of relocating what had been lost in the modern era. Thus, his paintings of animals are suffused with an almost meditative reverence. His analysis of color 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.
