Marriage and family
During his twenties Marc was involved in a number of stormy relationships including a years-long affair with Annette von Eckardt a married antique dealer who was nine years older than him. In 1912 Marc met Robert Delaunay whose use of color and futurist method was a major influence on Marc's work. Franz Marc's best-known painting is probably Tierschicksale (also known as Animal Destinies or Fate of the Animals) which hangs in the Kunstmuseum Basel.

He was a founding member of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) a journal whose name later became synonymous with the circle of artists collaborating in it. Franz Marc (February 8 1880 – March 4 1916) was a German painter and printmaker one of the key figures of the German Expressionist movement.
