Jac Martin-Ferrièresartist • painterSaint-Paul (dep. Tarn, Frankrijk) 1893-1972 (plaats onbekend)

Like his father Henri Martin, Jac Martin-Ferrières found his inspiration mainly in typical French landscapes. His early work is executed in a divisionist style. During this period he regularly painted the quays of the Seine in Paris. Gradually he started to paint in an increasingly coarse pointillist touch. After 1920 he made use of larger areas of colour and heavy contours and exhibited his work at the 'Salon des Artistes Francais', where he won a gold medal in 1928. In addition to paintings, he also made wall paintings. Jac Martin-Ferrières was a student of his father, Fernand Cormon and Ernest Laurent.
