1910
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1910 ink by John Marin, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a tall, pointy cathedral with two spires and lots of small windows. The building’s front has a big round window and a few arched doorways. There’s a street in front with a few small buildings and trees, but everything looks drawn in quick, scratchy lines. The artist used a technique that lets them press ink into lines carved into metal. This makes the print look like it was made by hand, with some areas darker where the lines are deeper. Try looking up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
John Marin (December 23, 1870 – October 2, 1953) was an early American modernist visual artist. He is known for his abstract landscape paintings and watercolors.
