Marin, John (1870-1953)
Drawings and Watercolors.

New York: Twin Editions, 1950.

Limited edition, folio; copy number LXXVI of 125 roman numeral copies issued with the etching "The Lobster Fisherman," signed and numbered by Marin in ink in the lower margin; 30 black-and-white drawings and 8 full-page watercolor reproductions; loose as issued in a morocco-backed buckram portfolio; 12 3/4 x 10 in.

Marin developed this set of drawings and watercolors during his romps through New York City, where "buildings, streets, people become a solid mass of moving aliveness-nothing is dead-with a kind of order to it all, played on a few key-strings of a never-losing-awareness."
