Deer Isle, Maine 1922

John Marin's 1922 watercolor "Deer Isle, Maine" is a notable example of his signature style, capturing the essence of the landscape rather than a precise representation. Using loose brushstrokes and vibrant washes of color, he evokes the misty atmosphere of Deer Isle, Maine, with its rolling hills and water reflecting the sky. The work's dynamism and simplified forms reflect Marin's interest in abstract expressionism, highlighting the relationship between nature and the human experience. The piece's unique aesthetic and evocative style make it a quintessential example of American modern art.
