Ye Old Dutch Church, Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 1951

This 1951 drawing by American artist John Marin depicts the "Ye Old Dutch Church" in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey. Marin's work is known for its expressive lines and bold, simplified forms. The artist captures the essence of the church's architecture, particularly its tall steeple and pointed windows, in a minimalist style. The inclusion of a lone figure in the foreground adds a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. This piece exemplifies Marin's signature style of capturing the essence of a place, drawing upon the techniques of modernism and cubism.
