One Sketch 270) (Thursday 20th December) Franz Marc
Horse stamp explosive Earth
Which shatters

On Sketching every day, several times a month the prompt is a featured artist. Yesterday was German artist Franz Marc, killed in the 1916 Battle of Verdun. I will be honest, this early 20th century expressionist style isn't usually my cup of tea, but I look at this, and it looks far more modern than it is - you can certainly see the influence Marc and others had on the development of graphic art throughout the 20th century. This is a copy of a woodcut.
