''Fighting Forms'' (German: ''Kämpfende Formen'') is a renowned abstract painting by German Expressionist artist Franz Marc, created in 1914. This work is emblematic of Marc's transition from depictions of animals to more abstracted, dynamic compositions that reflect his interest in portraying the spiritual and emotional aspects of life through color and form.

The painting is characterized by its bold use of color and the dynamic interplay of abstract shapes that appear to be in a state of conflict or tension, hence the title "Fighting Forms." The composition is devoid of recognizable figures or landscapes, which marks a significant departure from Marc's earlier, more figurative works. Instead, it is composed of swirling, overlapping forms and a vibrant color palette that suggests movement and chaos.

Franz Marc, a founding member of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a group of artists interested in expressing spiritual truths through their art, was deeply influenced by theories of color symbolism and the association of certain colors with specific emotional or spiritual states. In ''Fighting Forms,'' Marc's use of color is particularly significant, as he assigns emotional and symbolic meanings to the colors, with red often representing violence and blue denoting spirituality.

The outbreak of World War I in the same year as the painting's creation adds a historical context to the work, as the tumultuous forms can be interpreted as reflecting the conflict and upheaval of the time. Tragically, Marc was conscripted into the German Army and was killed in 1916, making ''Fighting Forms'' one of his last major works and a poignant testament to his artistic legacy.

''Fighting Forms'' is considered a masterpiece of abstract expressionism and a precursor to the non-objective art movements that would emerge later in the 20th century. The painting is held in high regard for its innovative approach to form and color, and it remains a significant work in the study of early abstract art. It is housed in the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Germany, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and scholarly interest.
