New York c. 1921 - 1928

"New York" (c. 1921 - 1928) is a watercolor by American artist John Marin, known for his expressive depictions of urban landscapes. The piece captures a simplified, almost abstract view of buildings in New York City, characterized by bold, angular shapes and a limited color palette of blues, grays, and pinks. Marin's use of gestural brushstrokes and emphasis on light and shadow convey a sense of movement and energy that is characteristic of his style and his fascination with the dynamism of modern life.
