Many of my Facebook friends post articles about animals. I'm sure you've seen some of the clips, photos, etc that are floating out there. Most of the articles are directed at wanting an increased ethical treatment for all animals, the movement opposing animal cruelty is very strong.
This last week on this blog I've posted examples of work created by the artist Franz Marc. Marc died in WW1, all of his work predates WW1, roughly 1916. Marc was concerned with the fate of animals. It strikes me that many artists often times predate a strong movement in society seen decades or even centuries later and Marc was one of those people as the subject of his artwork was the ethical treatment of animals.
