Don Martin & other Masters of California Post-War Art

Posted on | June 1, 2019 | Comments Off on Don Martin & other Masters of California Post-War Art

Don Martin’s art is far too unique and varied to be categorized. Living and working in Mexico in the fifties, in Venice, CA, in part of the sixties, and finally on a farm near Santa Cruz for the remainder of his life, the places and times influenced his work, but his styles and choices of media were always personal. Sometimes irreverent and sometimes deeply spiritual, sometimes spontaneous and sometimes painstakingly crafted over long periods of time, he was the opposite of a one trick pony.

Also showing work by other masterful artists of the era including Jeremy Anderson, Paul Beattie, Karl Benjamin, Dorr Bothwell, Hans Burkhardt, Claire Falkenstein, Charles H. Howard, Robert B.
