“I’ve been painting since early childhood. I attended San Jose State University, studying under Eric Oback, Robert Freimark (student of Henri Matisse) and Sam Richardson, graduating with scholarship honors in 1968. I have since been in numerous one-person and group shows throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, and in Colorado, Arizona and Japan. In 2001, I had a one-person exhibit at the Museum of Northeast Nevada, as featured in VIA magazine. In 2008, my illustrations were used as book covers for novels “Iowa Terror” and “Guests of the Nation” by author Mike Palecek. I currently participate each October in Santa Cruz Open Studios, and other shows throughout the year.”
“As a songwriter, I’ve performed in clubs and venues in California, Canada , and on Island Princess Cruises; and wrote and produced the album “Julienne” in 1980. My most recent release (2005) is “Restless Heart” featuring 14 original songs.” A copy of the CD is included with the sale of the painting.

- "Ribbon" Extra-Large Contemporary Landscape Painting By American Martin HoffmanBy Martin HoffmanLocated in Frederiksberg C, DKIntroducing "Ribbon," an extraordinary painting from the "Jersey Meadow Series" by Martin Hoffman in the 1970s. From the 1970s onwards, Hoffman's career showcased a masterful combination of beautiful painting techniques and challenging subject matter. This contemporary painting depicts an abandoned landscape with a hypnotic blue plastic ribbon at its center. Hoffman's landscape creates an almost mesmerizing effect, where the subject matter of destruction and decay is presented poetically. The warm shades of grey with hints of blue, brown, and purple create a limited yet powerful palette that enhances the melancholic beauty of the painting. The painting measures 151cm x 202cm / 59.5in x 79.5in and is signed 'Martin Hoffman' on the reverse side of the canvas. It is titled 'Ribbon' and is dated '73.' Additionally, the artist specifies that the painting is part of the 'Jersey Meadow Series.' It is ready to hang and comes with a silver-painted frame. The condition of the painting is great, with hardly any signs of wear. The frame has a few scratches but is otherwise in good condition. Artist Bio: Martin Hoffman was a versatile artist and illustrator, mostly known for his paintings. He was a self-taught painter and a gifted drummer who had worked as an art director for the Miami News, Graphic Arts Inc., and Steiner & Wall Advertising. In 1973, Martin Hoffman landed his first solo exhibition at the OK Harris...Category
