The Cloister of Saint Maclou, Rouen (First Version)

John Marin

American, 1870 - 1953

The intricate tracery of etched lines across the entire surface of this print shows how open Marin was to the Post-Impressionist style developed by artists in Paris around the turn of the century, such as Édouard Vuillard (1868-1940), Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947), and James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), whose own pictures were similarly constructed as flat, decorative patterns of lines and shapes.
