Woolworth Building, No. 29 1912

John Marin's 1912 watercolor "Woolworth Building, No. 29" is a prime example of his distinctive style. The artist, known for his bold and expressive depictions of urban landscapes, captures the Woolworth Building in a vibrant burst of color and abstract shapes. The painting's dynamism reflects Marin's fascination with the movement and energy of the modern city, as well as his use of watercolor to evoke a sense of fleetingness and atmospheric light. This piece, measuring 47.8 x 39.4 cm, exemplifies Marin's signature approach to capturing the urban landscape through a unique blend of realism and abstraction.
