The John Marin Collection of the Colby College Museum of Art
by Ruth Fine
from Colby College Museum of Art Waterville, Maine
Second only to that of the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., Colby College Museum of Art's John Marin Collection contains paintings, watercolors, drawings, etchings and photographs by one of the most important modern American artists. The works span the years 1888 to 1953 and, at a time when interest in Alfred Stieglitz and his colleagues is growing, prove extremely timely and academically valuable.

John Marin in New Mexico
by Sharyn R. Udall
from The Albuquerque Musuem
Considered by many to be AmericaÂ’s supreme watercolorist, John Marin painted more than one hundred watercolors while in New Mexico during the summers of 1929 and 1930 as a guest of Mabel Dodge Luhan. This volume brings together forty-seven of those important Marin works.
“Marin’s New Mexico watercolors retain a freshness and urgency of execution. Everywhere in them are traces of the artist’s own exuberant energies, the vital ingredient that completed the structure of the visual world he invented.”—Sharyn Udall, from the essay
