Brooklyn Bridge and City Scene N.Y.C. 1924

"Brooklyn Bridge and City Scene N.Y.C." is a 1924 drawing by John Marin, a prominent American artist known for his innovative use of watercolor and his depictions of modern American landscapes. The artwork portrays a simplified, abstracted view of the Brooklyn Bridge and the city skyline, capturing the dynamism and energy of urban life in the early 20th century. Marin’s bold lines and fragmented forms suggest the movement and scale of the cityscape, creating a sense of immediacy and visual excitement. The artwork is a prime example of Marin’s unique artistic style, often referred to as "expressive realism," which blended elements of realism with abstraction.
