John Marin was a major figure among the cutting-edge circle of
American modernist artists who showed his work in Alfred
Stieglitz’s New York galleries from 1909 until 1950. A new
collection of the artist’s work at the Arkansas Arts Center,
given by Marin’s daughter-in-law, forms the basis of this first
book of essays and images to concentrate on Marin’s drawings in
the context of Marin’s life, his watercolors, and his etchings.
We follow Marin to his most famous subject matter: New York City
and the coast of Maine. Foundational drawings and an unfinished
watercolor of the towering Woolworth Building, still under
construction when they were made in 1912, begin the story of a
renowned group of watercolors first exhibited in 1913 at Alfred
Stieglitz’s 291 Gallery and then at the ground-breaking 1913
Armory Show. Other images take us to lesser-known locales, such as
the Ramapo Mountains in New York and New Jersey where Marin often
painted when he couldn’t get to Maine. More obscure aspects of
the artist’s career explored in this collection include portraits
of friends and family, charming drawings of animals, and circus
scenes. Becoming John Marin invites readers to look over this
important artist’s shoulder as he created and honed the sketches
he would interpret into completed watercolors and etchings,
illustrating the evolution of his style and methods as he
transformed from intuitive draftsman to innovative modernist
watercolorist and etcher.
