Fate of the Animals is an apocalyptic vision that reflected the atmosphere before the outset of World War I. On the back of the canvas, Marc placed an inscription: “And All Being is Flaming Suffering.” Like this inscription, the vision is a chaotic scene where the animals flee in terror from the flames. Through the use of diagonals, Marc constructed a very severe and organized composition, which provided balance and order to a scene of confusion and chaos. At the same time, the diagonals add to the tension and intensity of the painting by emphasizing the contrast between the tones of blue, red, and green. Marc created the painting sometime before May 1913, and originally titled it The Trees Show Their Rings, The Animals Their Veins. However, following the advice of friend and artist, Paul Klee, he changed the name to Fate of the Animals. After Marc’s death, the painting was part of a memorial exhibition at the Sturm Gallery in Berlin - WikiArt.
