| Head of a Nun, 1934, tempura on newsprint, 20 x 15", Ramer Collection Martínez was born in Mexico and many of his paintings reflect his Mexican heritage. He uses canvas, board, paper and newsprint. Often the newsprint includes curious verbiage juxtaposed on the art. He romanticizes his country and her people, frequently using portraits composed with bold simple line. His work has been compared to Diego Rivera. He also borrows from Picasso, Cèzanne and Gauguin.
