On 29 June the Reichstag passes a military bill (put forward by the government) at the third reading, approving the increase of peacetime troops by 117,267 men to 661,478.

On a not very pleasant day in 1913 Franz Marc suddenly reaches for his paintbrush and paints a picture that contrasts wildly with the rest of his oeuvre. The painting in question doesn’t depict the usual paradise, where animals are as mild as angels and human beings are redundant. No. This time it’s all about hell. Franz Marc, horrified by the newspaper reports from southern Europe and the increasingly bloody carnage there, paints a sinister, snarling picture. He calls it The Wolves (Balkan War).
