1944
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1944 ink by John Marin, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a slanted city street with buildings stacked unevenly. A horse and rider are in the bottom right corner, moving past a tilted sidewalk. The lines are loose and quick, like scribbled thoughts—some buildings lean, others overlap, and the whole scene feels off-balance. The paper has a grainy texture, and the artist used different line weights to show depth. The date "Marin '44" is signed in the corner, hinting this was made in 1944. Look up etching to see how artists like this create layered lines with acid.
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.
