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.

PASCAL CUCARO(1915–2004) Original Oil on Canvas – Signed
An original oil painting by late Ohio native artist, Pascal Cucaro(1915–2004). Born in Youngstown, Ohio, Cucaro would find influence in his childhood, which would help develop his vision for his landscapes, and subjects of circus scenes, of which he became well known. Touted as an impasto style painter with impressionist influence, Cucaro preferred to be undefined as painting was an evolution. This original oil painting exemplifies Cucaro's evolution, with elements of fauvism, impressionism, and impasto technique. In 1965, Cucaro was awarded a nomination for The Presidential Medal of Freedom. His work continues to inspire in private collections after his death.
