John Marin
American, 1870–1953
Around 1912, Marin began to paint works that focused on the energy, motion, and construction of the architecture of modern New York City. These pulsating cityscapes became a major theme of artist’s oeuvre and he painted them throughout his career. "Manhattan Movement," created in 1932, is a prime example of these works. In the painting, Marin uses elements of the composition to frame the action and creates a border around the edge of the paper in a gray wash.
