Julián Martinez Pocano (Coming of the Spirits) was born in San Ildefonso Pueblo in New Mexico, and died in San Ildefonso Pueblo. He is perhaps best known for the designs he painted on his wife Maria's famous pottery. Martinez had no formal art training. He was the father of Tony Martinez (Popovi Da), also a well known Pueblo artist.
In addition to artist, Martinez listed his occupation as “farmer, laborer, janitor, and pottery designer,” (Lester, p. 343). He also served as Gov (showing 500 of 2985 characters). |
