This book is a gorgeous example of what a monograph should be. Its heavy paper stock and color reproduction does Marc's glorious colors justice, and the pictures are given the room, the white space, and the high print quality they deserve. The price is likely too high for someone unfamiliar with his work to take the gamble, but for those who already have an appreciation for Marc, I would urge them to consider investing in this lovely collection rather than any number of lesser books.

The book really is a treat. Very much like actually attending a major
art retropspective at a museum. A big plus of the book is the series of pictures of drawings that one rarely sees in any exhbition particualry of this artist. The text is well structured and the ideas fluent. The extent of the examination of paintings has depth and is a visual delight. Truly a book to have in one's collection as well as to share.

This volume is beautiful - the color plates are wonderful and numerous. Nothing is small and the colors are wonderful.
The commentary is excellent both for those who know Franz Marc well and also for those who just getting to know him.
