Untitled, Downtown, Manhattan c. 1928

John Marin's "Untitled, Downtown, Manhattan" (c. 1928) is a pencil drawing that captures the dynamic energy of the city. Marin, a prominent figure in American Modernism, utilized a loose, expressive style to convey the visual experience of the city. The drawing's gestural lines and fragmented forms represent the towering buildings and bustling streets of New York City. This work is a testament to Marin's mastery of capturing the essence of urban environments through his unique and innovative approach to art.
