SOLD
Original oil on canvas by Ohio-based artist Robert Martin (1918-1998) depicts two female figures in conversation, both seated in classic Windsor chairs. Martin’s loose brushwork makes for an ethereal setting to this image, with light spilling into a room of swirling reds and browns. Housed in a weathered frame with ornate corners, this painting is signed by Martin in the lower left hand corner of the canvas.
About the Artist:
Robert Martin (1918-1998) was born in Cleveland, Ohio and raised by his grandmother. His grandmother, having grown up in the Victorian Era, is responsible for the period’s influence on his early works. Martin studied the painting from books of the masters, old and new. He worked from life, enjoying the process and interaction that was created. In the 1980s, he began working from photographs with his series of Victorian Village scenes. An ever-learning student, his work has distinctly different decades reflecting his progress and interests. Persisting was his use of oil on canvas, despite his training in other mediums. His poetic soul was evident in his philosophy as an artist.
