Movement, Fantasy Series 1943

"Movement" from John Marin's Fantasy series is a 1943 drawing depicting two figures in a dynamic pose, set against an abstract background of swirling lines and shapes. Marin, known for his bold style and use of watercolor, masterfully captures a sense of motion and energy through the figures' outstretched limbs and the chaotic, yet balanced, composition. The drawing reflects Marin's exploration of modern life and his fascination with capturing fleeting moments in time. The work exemplifies Marin's distinctive approach to capturing both the natural world and the human experience in his signature expressionist style.
