Wehawken Sequence — Fine Art

Wehawken Sequence moves across the sheet in angled lines and broken forms. The colours lean toward blue and brown, sitting against a pale ground. John Marin built these marks to catch the feel of the city rather than draw it exactly.

This fine art print is set in a frame with a back panel. The matte surface holds the blue tones softly so the lighter areas do not turn shiny under a lamp. You see the rough marks more clearly when you stand near it.

On a narrow hallway wall the sequence reads as a long stretch of movement. From the landing you notice the darker blue bands first, then the smaller strokes as you pass by.
