He did see animals together with their surroundings in a harmonious relation and tried to gain vitality into his paintings through animals. He died at the age of 36 in World War 1. ![Tiger][1] ![Birds][2] ![Blue Horse][3] ![Dog Lying in the Snow][4] ![Monkey Frieze][5] ![Haystacks in the Snow][6] ![The Fate of the Animals][7] [1]: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Franz_Marc_027.jpg/544px-Franz_Marc_027.jpg [2]: http://www.wikiartis.com/media/images/work/franz-marc/franz-marc-vogel.jpg [3]: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Franz_Marc_Blaues_Pferd_1911.jpg/451px-Franz_Marc_Blaues_Pferd_1911.jpg [4]: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/Franz_Marc-Dog_Lying_in_the_Snow-1910-1911.jpg/800px-Franz_Marc-Dog_Lying_in_the_Snow-1910-1911.jpg [5]: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/Marc-monkey_frieze.jpg/800px-Marc-monkey_frieze.jpg [6]: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cf/Haystacks_in_the_Snow_by_Franz_Marc_1911.jpeg/742px-Haystacks_in_the_Snow_by_Franz_Marc_1911.jpeg [7]: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Franz_Marc-The_fate_of_the_animals-1913.jpg/800px-Franz_Marc-The_fate_of_the_animals-1913.jpg
