Associated Names

John Marin

Artist, American, 1870 - 1953

The image displays jagged and flowing lines intersecting and curving across the composition, forming an abstract scene. Among the strokes are faint human figure outlines and geometric shapes resembling objects like a television or a rectangular board. The drawing is abstract, with the lines indicating movement and form without clear details, encouraging the viewer to identify elements within the arrangement.
