World Cow is a 1913 oil by Franz Marc, a Der Blaue Reiter work, depicting Calf, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting depicts a large red cow lying down, with its head turned to the left. The cow's body is rendered in bold, geometric shapes, with a white patch on its forehead and a long, curved tail. In the background, there are abstracted shapes and lines in shades of blue, green, and yellow. The painting's use of vibrant colors and simplified forms creates a sense of energy and movement. The cow's pose and expression seem calm and serene, despite the dynamic composition. If you're interested in exploring more works like this, you might want to look up the artist Franz Marc.
