Angular wolves inhabit this semiabstract landscape inhabited by angular wolves. One brown, one orange, and one blue-black animal, all three crouched and on the prowl, enter from the right side of the painting. All have hollowed-out eyes. Another black wolf lies sleeping or dead at the left on the canvas. The tone of the painting is dark and brooding despite the expressive yellow sunset at the top, blue flames of a fire in the foreground, and two pink flowers at lower right.
Franz Marc
Die Wölfe (Balkankrieg) [The Wolves (Balkan War)] ,
This painting features a beige-color room full of fantastical creatures performing music and acrobatics, and floating through the air. These colorful beings are shaped like musical instruments, insects, animals, and mermaids and interact with instruments, musical notes, a ladder, dice, unicycle, a shooting star, and other objects. A window at top right looks out onto a landscape, and beneath it is a table with a fish, a globe, and papers.
