But the expressionists were not fundamentally interested in the neutral subjects of cubism: the quotidian landscape of cafe table, brown guitar, pipe, bottle and chair. Franz Marc, who died in the trenches at 36, turned to the cubist vocabulary of facets, prisms and sliding rays to express his pantheistic view of nature, the Eden of happy animals: "We will no longer paint the forest or the horse as they please us or appear to us, but as they really...
