About Artwork:  (c. 1953) "Beginning in 1934, the circus became a major theme in John Marin’s art, possibly because it served as a metaphor for the city or signified the human condition. The artist’s interest in the subject intensified in his last years, and this oil painting probably dates from 1953. Here the energetic, rapidly applied brushstrokes, contrasting paint textures, and diverse repertoire of forms create a sense of the intense excitement generated by a circus performance." - (National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.)
