Alfredo Ramos Martinez Original Vintage Modernist Downtown Los Angeles Post Impressionist Cityscape Oil Painting Latin American Art 2 of 2

Original, vintage modernist painting of a Los Angeles cityscape, by Alfredo Ramos Martinez, (1871-1946).

    Alfredo Ramos Martínez (November 12, 1871 in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico – November 8, 1946 in Los Angeles) was a painter, muralist, and educator, who lived and worked in Mexico, Paris, and Los Angeles. Considered by many to be the 'Father of Mexican Modernism', Ramos Martínez is best known for his serene and empathetic paintings of traditional Mexican people and scenes. As the renowned Nicaraguan poet Rubén Darío wrote, "Ramos Martínez is one of those who paints poems; he does not copy, he interprets; he understands how to express the sorrow of the fisherman and the melancholy of the village.”
