In 1949 Fred Martin took a class with Mark Rothko at the California School of Fine Art. This painting appears to have been done during one of those sessions.
Absolutely a highly important painting by Fred Martin A true "Gem" of a painting that glows with an impeccable provenance. Very few of these early paintings by Martin have survived, infact abstract expressionism paintings from this era 1944-1950 are highly sought after and very hard to come by. Post War California artist, Fred Thomas Martin studied at the University of California, Berkeley, receiving his B.A. in 1949 and his M.F.A. in 1954. Studied at the California School of Fine Arts, from 1949-1950, with David Park, Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still. Martin was the director of the San Francisco Art Institute between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s, and he resumed that post in 1983.
