Homer Dodge Martin

Born in Albany, New York, Homer Dodge Martin freely painted landscapes that link the Hudson River School to the French Barbizon tradition and Impressionism. He traveled widely through Europe, and was greatly influenced by the works of Claude Monet. He established a studio in the famous Tenth Street Studio Building in New York City, though he eventually left to join his son in St. Paul, Minnesota. As his eyesight failed with age, he painted increasingly abstract landscapes from memory.
