"תנועת הים, מיין" (1937) של ג'ון מרין מדגים את גישתו הדינמית לצבעי מים, מדיום אותו הפך לאחד מכלי הרכב האקספרסיביים ביותר של המודרניזם האמריקאי המוקדם. היצירה, שצוירה בתקופתו הבוגרת, לוכדת את האנרגיה חסרת המנוחה של חוף מיין - נושא שמרין חזר אליו שוב ושוב כמקור השראה. משיכות מהירות ומחוותיות מעבירות את הים הגואה והסלעים המשוננים, בעוד שטיפות של כחול עמוק, אפור ושחור מעוררות גם מיידיות וגם אווירה. יכולתו הייחודית של מרין למזג הפשטה עם התבוננות ניכרת כאן: הקומפוזיציה נאמנה בו זמנית למקצבי העולם הטבעי ומשוחררת בחופש האקספרסיבי שלה.





חשיבותה של יצירה זו מודגשת על ידי הכללתה בקטלוג הקיום של שלדון רייך משנת 1970 (מס' 37.19) ותולדות התערוכות שלה בשתי תערוכות מוזיאליות, המאשרות את מקומה בגוף נופי הים המפורסם של מרין במיין. "תנועת ים, מיין" עומדת כעדות חיה למרדף חייו של האמן לתרגם את חיוניות הטבע לצורה ציורית.
