John Marin's "Wehawken Sequence" is an abstract, watercolor landscape painting characterized by its gestural brushstrokes and vibrant color. The painting uses a minimalist palette of blue, brown, and white, emphasizing the artist's interest in capturing the essence of the scene rather than representing it realistically. The work exemplifies Marin's signature style, which blended elements of Impressionism, Expressionism, and Cubism to create a unique and powerful visual language. He is considered a key figure in American modernism and was particularly known for his depictions of the New York City skyline.
