Robert Martin (1918-1998) Framed Oil on Canvas Woman in Mirror

Robert Martin (1918-1999)

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Martin was raised by his grandmother who, having grown up in the Victorian Era, was responsible for the period’s influence on his early works. He studied 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.

The painting features a woman looking into a mirror, rendered in rich color and depth with a wide range of tonal values and a luminescent quality. 

Condition: Great condition, with some markings on figure, see photos.
