John Marin (1870-1953) was known for his abstract style of landscape painting. He had already had a solo show at Alfred Stieglitz's Gallery 291 (in 1909) when he painted this picture.
The Fulton Chain, as it is called, is really one long lake perforated by a series of straits. It is located in the Adirondack State Park, New York.
