Seascape with Boat 

John Marin's "Seascape with Boat" is a minimalist pencil sketch that captures the essence of a seascape using a series of abstract lines and shapes. Marin, a prominent American modernist, was known for his innovative approach to landscape painting, emphasizing the dynamic forces of nature rather than precise representation. The artwork uses gestural lines to depict the movement of water and the structure of a boat, creating a sense of energy and rhythm. The simplicity of the composition and the artist's use of line create a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, reflecting Marin's interest in capturing the ephemeral nature of the natural world. This sketch exemplifies his exploration of abstract expressionism and his enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in American art.
