St. Paul's-Downtown NY c. 1913

"St. Paul's-Downtown NY" is a 1913 drawing by American artist John Marin depicting the iconic St. Paul's Chapel in Lower Manhattan. Marin's bold, expressionistic style, characterized by dynamic lines and simplified forms, captures the energy and dynamism of the rapidly growing city. This work is typical of his urban landscapes, often depicting architectural landmarks through a unique and personal lens. The drawing's loose, gestural quality invites viewers to engage with Marin's subjective interpretation of the urban environment.
