The Brook, Tyrol Series I exemplifies a pivotal moment in John Marin’s artistic development as he embraced novel painting techniques and situated himself at the vanguard of American art. Marin produced the present work while visiting the Tyrol region of Western Austria in 1910. Returning to New York in 1911, Marin's European watercolors, including The Brook, Tyrol Series I were exhibited in his second solo show at Alfred Stieglitz’s 291 gallery, where they drew critical acclaim.
