This artwork, titled “Sunset,” was created by John Marin in 1922. It is a part of the Expressionism movement and falls under the genre of landscape.
The artwork depicts a vivid and abstract representation of a sunset. The sun is a prominent feature, rendered as a bright orange circle with yellow and red radiating lines that seem to scatter across the canvas. The use of green and blue hues below the sun likely suggests a landscape, with various abstract shapes and lines indicating natural forms such as hills, trees, or perhaps water. The bold use of colors and dynamic brushstrokes convey a sense of intense emotion and movement, characteristic of Expressionist landscapes. The overall effect is one of vibrant energy and the mesmerizing transformation of nature as observed during a sunset.
