artist

The son of the great second generation Impressionist, Henri Martin, Jacques Martin-Ferrieres was born in 1893. He became known as a painter of portraits and landscapes after periods of study under Cormon, Ernest Laurent, and last but not least, Henri Martin.
: He exhibited regularly in Paris at the Salon des Artistes Français and was able to submit work without vetting. At the Salon he received a honourable mention in 1920, a silver medal in 1923, and a travel scholarship in 1924. He received the national prize in 1925, before finally being awarded a gold medal in 1928. He was also awarded The Legay-Lebrun prize (Prix de L'Institut). In 1965 he exhibited in Paris in an exhibition of Venetian landscapes and snow landscapes.
: His style can be summarised briefly by his use of thick impasto which created a surface of great vitality and a wonderful basis for his experimentation with the effects of light.
