Raymundo Martinez
Mexico 1938
Raymundo Martinez is a Mexican landscape painter and printmaker. His subject matter is the reinterpretation of the Mexican landscape: he painted the vast expanse of land, creating an ideal environment for the rapid growth of the metropolis.
The president of the country, Adolfo López Mateos, was a patron of the artist from 1958 to 1964 and willingly presented his works to heads of state. The works of Raimundo Martínez can be found in various Mexican embassies around the world, as well as in the collections of national political figures.
