Jean Martin Art

American, 1906-1986
A self-taught painter born in Lyon in 1911, Jean Martin developed a style of reality painting on the bangs of the debates surrounding the realism quarrel. He exhibited for the first time at the Salon d'Automne in 1933, at the Salon du Sud-Est (Lyon) the following year, and at the Salon des Indépendants from 1935. Jean Martin's pictorial style is marked by the influence of the 16th-century German masters in the wake of Matthias Grünewald, Lucas Cranach and Albrecht Dürer, whose work he observed at length thanks to reproductions of works he kept religiously. He was also strongly influenced by contemporary Flemish Expressionism. The Laethem-Saint-Martin School, discovered in 1927 during the L'Art belge exhibition at the Musée des beaux-arts de Grenoble, was a real visual shock for the artist, and particularly influenced his painting in the 1930s.
