Frederic Martens

Frederic Martens is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Frederic Martens spent his days roaming Paris with a camera as if it were a sketchbook, turning the city’s boulevards and bridges into sharp little prints. He had a knack for catching light on cobblestones and faces in doorways, making everyday Paris feel like a stage set. If you’ve ever paused at a vintage postcard of the Pont des Arts at dusk, chances are that’s his frame of mind.
