From inside the dust jacket of Vol. 1: "The evolution of style if Marin is the main theme of the first volume. As a counterpoint the author develops the story of John Marin's critical reception in America and Europe, and of his connections with the mainstream of modern Western painting...The Catalogue Raisonné in the second volume is likewise unique in the broad scope of its coverage. Marin's oils, less well known that his watercolors, are included in its nearly 3,000 entries of which 1,975 are illustrated in the Catalogue itself."
