El árbol del camino, around 1920<br />

Oil on paper<br />

37.2 x 28 cm<br />

Caracas, 1885 - Carrizales, State of Miranda, 1966<br />

Between 1904 and 1909, Martínez studied at the Caracas Academy of Fine Arts. In 1909, he participated<br />

in the student protests that demanded changes in the curriculum of that same institution. He was a<br />

founding member of the Fine Arts Society and actively contributed to the exhibitions organized by this<br />

group. In 1959, his participation in the XX Annual Exhibition of Venezuelan Art garnered him the Arístides<br />

Rojas Landscape Award, initiating an avid public interest in his life and works.
