II, no. 48.31, as “Seascape with Reflecting Sun”</p> <p> </p> <p>In the summer of 1933, John Marin moved his family to Cape Split, an isolated location on a promontory near Addison, Maine. Marin’s house featured a glassed-in porch that offered expansive views from all sides onto Pleasant Bay - a perfect working environment for an artist. Marin once wrote: "The house is so close to the water I almost feel at times that I am on a boat." His body of work until his death in 1953 featured all the seasons and various weather patterns in Pleasant Bay and overall was characterized overall by a joyful, lyrical quality. The present work while simplistic, is vibrant and features primary colors of blue, red and yellow which take center stage in the picture, the red guiding the viewer into the early stages of the sunset over the water.</p> <p><strong>John Marin (American, 1870-1953)</strong></p> <p>Born in New Jersey, John Marin is known for his paintings and watercolors of abstract landscapes in early American Modernist style. After studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, he spent time in New York at the Art Students League. His works reflects influences from Alfred Stieglitz. In 1913, his work was featured in the Armory Show and by 1948, Marin was considered one of the foremost painters in America by leading museum curators and art dealers. His artwork can be found in public and private collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art and the White House.</p> <p><i>Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.</i>
