Untitled

John Marin · c. 1924 · colored pencil on wove paper ·  Accession ID  1986.54.165.jj

The image contains intersecting lines and geometric shapes scattered throughout the space, creating an abstract arrangement. There are elements resembling ladders and chairs, alongside splotches of blue. The backdrop features soft washes of orange and beige tones, reminiscent of a mountainous landscape, adding depth to the artwork. Each element appears to float independently, contributing to the overall sense of an abstract assembly where everyday objects emerge from familiar forms but do not settle into a definitive narrative.
