Original Dimensions: 13 15/16" x 18"
Location: National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.
About Artwork: (1948) "The multiple peaks of Tunk Mountain, located near John Marin’s summer home on Cape Split, Maine, were among his favorite landscape subjects during the last phase of his career. He painted them repeatedly in both oil and watercolor between 1939 and 1952, the year before his death. This small oil sketch has the hallmarks of Marin’s late style: expressive calligraphic lines that convey a sense of rhythm and motion, a reduced color palette, and the prominent role of the off-white ground layer." - (National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.)
