Marin, John Biography American painter, born in Rutherford, New Jersey, and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from 1899 to 1901. In 1905 John Marin went abroad for four years, studying in Paris and making trips to Rome, London, and Amsterdam. During this period, he painted in oils and watercolors and also etched. John Marin is best known for his prolific series of Maine seascapes, such as Maine Islands (1922, Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.). From the 1930s Marin increasingly painted with oils. In works using this medium, such as Tunk Mountains, Maine (1945), he often employed the watercolour technique of dragging a nearly dry brush across the canvas to achieve an effect of lightness and transparency.
