Franz Marc was a German Expressionist whose early work has the more traditional French Impressionist feel. He specialized in animals, and his work runs from representational to almost totally abstract. During World War I he was assigned to painting camouflage for military bases. He was on a list of people of talent to be pulled from the front line when he was killed at the Battle of Verdun. The music is Bach. On saxophone.
I’m so very glad you liked it. It hasn’t gotten a SINGLE uparrow and I admit I was starting to get paranoid. I’m much relieved.
My set of playlists is at:

There’s probably over 15 percent of my videos that are blocked on YouTube. It’s also so frustrating that the quality gets lost in the streaming. For decades people went to copycenters or downloaded my videos from my site, so I knew they were getting high quality. It’s very strange to have them up on YouTube instead. Since I uploaded them, the downloads have almost stopped.
I watched on RSBN also. I’m just starting to watch other videos and I love all the links people give me.
>>Towards the end it almost morphs into abstract art.
EXACTLY! And you actually can watch the progress as he keeps the animals in the center of his work. Even the abstract ones from 1914 will occasionally have a glimpse of a deer or something somewhere. I’m absolutely fascinated by what I’m learning by this chronological exposition.
And sincere thanks for your very kind words. It means a lot.

OR... was he using more and more of that absinthe crap they all used on the rîve gauche? That junk is another world, I am told, and brain killer.
An affectionate early announcement just for you. Now I need to add a video on Art Nouveau and another one on Tiffany.
Thank you. Do you see what I mean?
My guess is you have seen a few of those pieces before.
Mucha was an artist of his time. He used all the available printmaking techniques available then.
His eye for light and dark design, plus curvilinear composition using the figure was unsurpassed. It is both kaleidescopic and genteel, as per the Victorian Era. It is both Fine Art and Commercial Art.
The piano sounds like early Chopin or Georges Favre’.
Joseph Blanchard is a composer who plays on the fly and doesn’t always remember what he plays to write down for later. I told him to never play without a recorder running!!! I met him playing in a hospital lobby and bought three of his CDs. He said I could use his music for my videos, so I’m taking him at his word and have a whole Playlist devoted to videos I’m doing to him.

The one I’m currently working on for Art Nouveau is also his.
Yes, you did hook me on Mucha. I’ll use some of the ones I didn’t use here in the Art Nouveau piece. I still have to gather Louis Welden Hawkins and Walter Crane and Tiffany. Then Tiffany gets his own video when I find the right music.
Mother stuck up her nose at Art Nouveau because she was trained in Art Deco, but I’ve always loved both. I don’t recognize any particular piece of Mucha’s, but the style - of course.
I’m so glad you liked it, even if short.
All my best, Mary
I like.
