Sea and Sun 1947

John Marin's "Sea and Sun" (1947) is a charcoal drawing that showcases his signature style of abstract expressionism. The artwork depicts a dynamic scene of a rocky shore with waves crashing against it, suggesting a powerful seascape. Marin's distinctive use of lines and washes conveys a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of his depictions of the natural world. This work is a quintessential example of Marin's artistic vision, where the artist's interpretation of the subject is as significant as the subject itself.
