St. Johns River Country, New Brunswick, Canada 1951

John Marin's "St. Johns River Country, New Brunswick, Canada" is a blue ink drawing from 1951. Marin was known for his abstract landscapes, and this piece captures the essence of a small town with its church steeple and surrounding trees. Marin’s gestural style, where the lines are bold and quick, contributes to the work’s dynamism and immediacy, creating a sense of movement and capturing the landscape in a fleeting moment. The work is an example of Marin's interest in capturing the natural world through a simplified and expressive approach.
