Weehawken Sequence 1916

John Marin's *Weehawken Sequence* from 1916 is a prime example of his signature style of abstract landscape painting. Known for his bold brushstrokes, Marin captures the essence of a scene rather than representing it literally. This piece evokes a sense of place with its use of color and line, suggesting a view through trees towards a distant scene. The bright blues and greens are characteristic of Marin's depiction of the natural world, and the bold outlines of the trees and landscape elements create a sense of depth and movement. The work's use of color, texture, and composition reflects Marin’s desire to capture the fleeting and dynamic nature of the natural world.
