Outside my Front Door

1923. Oil on canvas.
On display elsewhere

In 1910 Martin moved to Marquayrol, his house in Labastide-du-Vert (Lot, France) depicted in this canvas, and it was here that his work matured with respect to the Symbolism characteristic of his early output. He now focused on decorative painting and also on large, luminous and serene landscapes based on the juxtaposition of strokes of pure colour, as in this example.
