Intussen, in het leven van Franz Marc
Het hele levenDecember 1911 – January 1912
The first Blue Rider exhibition
Several of Marc's works are shown at the first Blue Rider exhibition at the Thannhauser Galleries in Munich, which has been called the apex of German Expressionism.
1912
The Blue Rider exhibition tours Germany
The exhibition travels to Berlin, Cologne, Hagen and Frankfurt; in Berlin the gallery owner Herwarth Walden shows Marc alongside Paul Klee, Alfred Kubin and Alexej von Jawlensky, and in 1912 the collection is also shown in Wuppertal.

1914
Called up at the start of the First World War
At the outbreak of war in 1914 Marc, like August Macke, is mobilised and sent to the front; early biographers thought he had volunteered, but conscription was practically impossible to avoid.
4 March 1916
Killed at Verdun
Marc is on a list of notable artists the government meant to withdraw from combat for their own safety, but the reassignment order does not reach him in time: at the Battle of Verdun a shell splinter strikes him in the head. Some accounts say he died instantly, others that he was mortally wounded.
