I was able to see the printmaking exhibit at the PMA on Thursday. The show itself was quite impressive. This piece by John Marin was brought to my attention. I Find it interesting because of the way he is able to minimally abstract this building. Marin does this in a playful way. It is almost as if the buildings are dancing. I enjoy the energy and the movement in this piece. I enjoy the roughness and the spontaneity. I have never seen a piece so playful especially without color. I had never heard of this artist before and looked him up and found I really enjoy the way in which he is able to abstract realism without loosing the image completely.
