L’exposition Franz Marc / August Macke – L’aventure du Cavalier bleu : l’explosion des couleurs
- The exhibition presents 2 major figures of German Expressionism and the Der Blaue Reiter [Le Cavalier bleu]movement, Franz Marc (1880-1916) and August Macke (1887-1914).
- Inspired by Post-Impressionists such as Cézanne and Van Gogh, and by Fauvism, Franz Marc and August Macke were able to create their own aesthetics with the Blaue Reiter movement.
- Alongside Kandinsky, they succeeded in externalizing their deep emotions through fascinating, brightly colored canvases.
- Mobilised in August 1914, they both died at the front
L’aventure du Cavalier bleu, l’expo adaptée aux enfants
This exhibition is perfectly suitable for children from 7 years old (free visit) and from 5 years old with the visit-workshop. It was an opportunity for them to discover German expressionism. The very colorful works of the two artists (Franz Mark and August Macke) are very accessible to young audiences. The representations are not realistic, the horse is blue, the sheep are green… It is an intriguing universe that will appeal to the youngest. The Musée de l’Orangerie offers especially for children:
