 TIBURON  BY MARIN
HAND SIGNED ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR ON PAPER. IMAGE SIZE" 15X11. Marin explored the idea of movement in his paintings more consistently than any other American artist of the twentieth century. From the wind-swept coast of Maine to the hustle-bustle of New York City, the subjects Marin chose to paint convey a sense of motion. Marin saw movement in his paintings as a sign of modernity, a means of capturing the quickening pace of life in the twentieth century. More importantly for him, however, was movement as a manifestation of the pulse and rhythm of life itself. Scholars including Sheldon Reich and Ruth Fine have suggested that Marin’s interest in exploring movement was sparked during years in Paris, where he may have seen the work of Robert Delaunay. Marin’s interest, though, seems to have been a celebration of a vitality that was essentially humanistic, rather than a reflection of any new machine-age faith. What interested him was the life of the city and the people who live in it.
