(Artdaily.org)

The Colby College Museum of Art has acquired a significant collection of German Expressionist prints, the gift of Norma Boom Marin. The remarkable gift of 28 prints, many of them brilliant or rare impressions, will make its first public appearance at Colby later this year. Marin, widow of John Marin Jr. and daughter-in-law of the acclaimed American artist John Marin (1870–1953), has been a generous benefactor of the museum for decades, a life member of its Board of Governors, and recipient of the museum’s 2011 Jetté Award for Leadership in the Arts. She has assembled a major collection of works on paper from some of the foremost German artists of the early 20th century. The collection spans the years 1907-
