a person and has always been there.” 

He asssociates with other LGBTQ artist 

who identify with Intimism an art form 

related to expressionism that evolved 

in the early 1900s in Europe. Itimism is 

described as a movement that depicts

around a dining table, or reading, 

or someone sleeping. Intimism as

VIRTUAL GALLERY 

This Virtual Gallery is a sample of created reproductions of famous art works that I have done. The question may be asked, isn’t 

copying another artist’s work plagiarism To copy another artist work is plagiarism if it is done deceptively,.that is, to claim that it is 

an original and not acknowledging that it is copied. Generally art work becomes public domain after 70 years. However it may still 

be owned by the estate of the artist. Any art that is copied and sold even if acknowledging it as a copy can be illegal. For this reason 

anyone buying a copied art work must be assured that it is in the public domain or permission has been granted for the copy. 

One artist that I admire for his technique and subjects is Franz Marc. He was a German artist who worked at the end of the 1800s 

into the beginning of the 1900s. The topics he worked with were generally animals, human figures, and nature His work was in the 

category of impressionism but he and a hand full of other artists followed Marc and Wassily Kandinsky, a Russian artist who Marc 

waa friends with. They each shared a belief in the this statement by Marc. “I try to intensify my sensitivity for the organic rhythm 

of all things.I 

seek....empathy with 

the vibration 

and flow of the blood of 

nature......in the 

trees, in the animals, in 

the air. ... I see no 

happier medium for the 

‘Animalization’ 

of art, as I would like to 

call it” 

Although 

Kandinsky’s art was more 

abstract than 

Marc’s they shared the 

same philosophy 

From this philosophy of 

incorporating the 

rhythm of all nature they 

formed a group 

called Der Blaue Reiter 

(The Blue Rider). 

Marc loved animals and 

nature and 

portraid them in his art. 

He used the 

color blue for horses.. His 

use of color was 

also part of the shared 

philosophy with 

Kandinsky. The color blue 

they believed symbolized strength and masculinity. Marc completed several paintings of blue horses. The most celbrated was title 

simply, “The Blue Horses”. The original of this painting is owned by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

This is one of Marc’s painting that I chose to “copy” as a project that 

helped me to more intimately understand Marc’s work. I used water 

color which is a more fluid medium than the oil paint that Marc used 

in the original. My copy is shown here along with a small photo of the 

original. 


Franz Marc’s painting of “The Shepard” generally titled “Young 

Boy With Lamb” was an earlier painting done prior to his 

alignment with Kandinsky. It does illustrate his affinity to 

nature and animals. 

This copy was completed in acrylic which 

gives it s similar textural quality as the original which was 

done in oil. This copy is also approximately the size of the 

original painting which is currently in the Guggenheim 

Museum. The painting of the Blue Horses was much larger 

than the copy I made. The original was approximately 3.5 

feet by 6.5 feet. The copy was about one quarter of the 

original size. 

This copy was done for a show and was framed in a traditional 

frame giving it a sense of the period it represents. 

Paintings or drawings of originals can be commissioned with the understanding that a 

commissioned work would be completed to be identified as a copy only and all rights to the 

original artist or artists’ estate would be honored.

time to pause and reflect 

on some of the remarkable 

lives we lost in 2022. We 

remember the loss of those 

close to us every day. But 

we should take a beat 

to remember who also 

passed that have helped
