Bill Martin (January 22, 1943, South San Francisco, California — October 28, 2008, Stanford, California, age 65) was a realist and visionary artist. "Bill Martin's images possess an inexplicable compelling power," wrote Walter Hopps, the Smithsonian Institution's Curator of the 20th Century American Art Collection.
Martin's work has been shown at the New York Museum of Modern Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Smithsonian, the Whitney Museum in New York, the Biennale de Paris, the Art Institute of Chicago and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (where he was at the center of the popular Baja exhibition). Martin began his career in the San Francisco Bay Area and lived much of his life in Mendocino, California.
