Maine-Landschaft
1914
John Marin treated the rugged coast of Maine like a living, breathing entity rather than just a pretty view. In this 1914 sketch, you can see his frantic energy—scribbly pencil lines and bold splashes of blue and green fight for space on the page. He was part of a modernist revolution in America, trying to capture the force of nature instead of just its look. It’s as if he was racing the wind itself to get the feeling down before it blew away.
