Reaching out about magicsgifs.blogspot.com

Hi - my name is Margaret, and I work at Artsy. While researching Franz Marc, I found your page: http://magicsgifs.blogspot.com/2013/05/rukhsana-franz-marc-pintor.html.

I am reaching out to certain website and blog owners that publish content in line with our mission to make all the world's art accessible to anyone. We hope to continue promoting arts education and accessibility with your help.

Our Franz Marc page provides visitors with Marc's bio, high quality images of his works, exclusive articles, and up-to-date Marc exhibition listings. The page also includes related artists and categories, allowing viewers to discover art beyond our Marc page. We would love to be included as an additional resource for your visitors via a link on your page.

If you are able to add a link to our Marc page, please let me know, and thanks in advance for your consideration.

Best,
Margaret

"Serious art has been the work of individual artists whose art has had nothing to do with style because they were not in the least connected with the style or the needs of the masses. Their work arose rather in defiance of their times."
-Franz Marc
