ROBERT MARTIN (1918-1998) “Red Flowers” Original Oil on Canvas
$396.00
Original oil on canvas by Ohio-based artist Robert Martin (1918-1998) depicts a floral still life of red flowers against an undulating sea of green. A painter who was gifted with modern sensibility, Martin’s loose, washy brushwork creates an image that should be commonplace, yet somehow feels in motion and abstract. Mounted on the original stretcher bars, this painting is signed by Martin in the lower right 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.
