Deer Isle Series 1927

"Deer Isle Series" is a watercolor by John Marin from 1927. Known for his abstract style, Marin uses gestural brushstrokes and bold colors to capture the essence of the Deer Isle landscape. The painting features a simplified, almost cubist, representation of houses, boats, and the sea, with geometric shapes and planes overlapping. The viewer is invited to interpret Marin's abstract vision of the Maine coast, highlighting the artist's signature style and ability to depict light and movement in a unique way.
