Franz Marc: The Quest for a Better World

Vibrant colors, poignant themes, and iconic animal paintings—the exhibition “Franz Marc: The Quest for a Better World” at the Kunstmuseum Bern invites visitors to rediscover the life and work of this outstanding artist. The first comprehensive solo exhibition in Switzerland—and the first in Europe in more than twenty years—offers a unique opportunity to experience over eighty masterpieces from all phases of Franz Marc’s (1880–1916) career in one place. Highlights of the exhibition include his iconic animal paintings and his striking depictions of nature, which rank among the most famous works of classical modernism. The exhibition is a collaboration between the Kunstmuseum Bern and the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf.
