Linear Configuration with Birds 

"Linear Configuration with Birds" is a drawing by American artist John Marin (1870-1953). Marin, known for his abstract interpretations of landscapes, utilized a minimalist approach in this work, focusing on simple geometric shapes and lines. The image is dominated by an interplay of lines, creating a sense of movement and depth, reminiscent of Marin's interest in the dynamism of nature. While the title suggests birds, the avian forms are subtly suggested through lines and shapes, allowing for a viewer's interpretation and engagement with the abstract composition. This artwork reflects Marin's innovative approach to capturing the essence of landscapes through abstract forms.
