Martinez is one of the most distinguished Latin American artists of the twentieth century and is considered by many art historians to be the founder of Mexican Modernism. Matinez's artistic philosophy was extremely progressive at the time. He had strong disregard for academic tradition and ecouraged students to depict everyday scenes of Mexico. Martinez moved from Mexico City to Los Angeles in 1930, where he began to produce pictures that brought together elements of European Modernism with pre-Columbian and Indigenous Mexican art, like Hermano y Hermanas.
