ジョン・マリンの『海の動き、メイン州』（1937年）は、彼が水彩画に与えた動的なアプローチを体現している。水彩という媒体を、初期アメリカ近代主義において最も表現力豊かな手段の一つへと変貌させた彼の技法がここに表れている。成熟期の作品である本作は、メイン州沿岸の落ち着きのないエネルギーを捉えている。マリンが繰り返しインスピレーションの源として戻った主題である。 素早く力強い筆致がうねる海と鋭い岩肌を表現し、濃紺・灰・黒のグラデーションが臨場感と雰囲気を同時に喚起する。抽象と観察を融合させるマリンの特筆すべき技量がここに顕著だ：構図は自然界のリズムに忠実でありながら、表現の自由において解放されている。


 


この作品の重要性は、シェルドン・ライヒによる1970年の作品総覧（No. 37.19）への収録と、二つの美術館展覧会での展示歴によって裏付けられており、マリンの著名なメイン州海景画群における確固たる地位を証明している。「海の動き、メイン州」は、自然の生命力を絵画的形式へと昇華させるという、芸術家の一生をかけた探求を鮮やかに証言する作品である。
