GENERAL DESCRIPTION
New York City was a primary subject of Marin’s for many years. In 1912 he described his New York watercolors by saying: “While these powers are at work, pushing, pulling, sideways, downwards, upwards, I can hear the sound of their strife and there is great music being played. And so I try to express graphically what a great city is doing.” Marin’s images of New York City are full of dynamism and spontaneity, even with their usual absence of figures.
