Franz Marc painted the Horse in a Landscape in search of the "absolute essence of art." He hoped to discover the beauty and purity inherited in the natural world. He managed to break away from the domain of naturalistic colors and lines. And by doing so, he made the recognizable things more abstract and expressive. Marc believed that pure colors had just as much symbolic potentials and subtexts as the real world. He came up with theories about colors and attributed particular qualities to the three primary colors. For him, blue represents the masculine part of the world, associated with austerity and intelligence. Yellow arouses feminine characteristics and sensuality. And red stands for the material world, relentless, brutal, and belligerent. In the painting, we see a horse halt his steps and hesitate about where he is going. He is strong, but somehow there is no clear path for him to dash, only a field of gentle yellow. "Mrs. Robinson you are trying to seduce me, aren't you?" Powerless and puzzled, Ben walks right into that field and losses his way there for a long time. It's only when he darts to the church and runs away with Elaine has he finally found a way to what he truly wants. However, on the bus, as smiles gradually fade away from their faces, we start to wonder, perhaps the characters too, is it really a good decision? Or did they just screw up their lives again? As the yellow bus drives farther into the horizon, a new round of loss and find begins. If this is the start of a new education, the education of life, then, when is the graduation?
