The Tower of Blue Horses

Abstract and Modernist Paintings

The Tower of Blue Horses is a 1913 oil painting by the German expressionist Franz Marc, depicting a stacked group of blue horses rendered in Marc's characteristic non-naturalistic color symbolism. It has been called one of Marc's best works, but the canvas went missing in 1945 and its current location and fate remain unknown.
