Did Martin's reputation as an artist suffer considerably after his death?

  • Yes

  • No

Answer

After Martin's death in 1917, his reputation as an artist suffered considerably. This was due to the rise of Modernism and the rejection of traditional art styles. Martin's work was seen as old-fashioned and out of touch with the modern world. His paintings were also criticized for being too sentimental and lacking in technical skill. As a result, Martin's work was largely forgotten for many years.
