Robert Watson (1923 – 2004) was an American artist born in Martinez, California. Watson provided the cover art for Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles, second edition, printed in 1953. Robert Watson was mostly self-taught artist. In the early 1940s he spent several years in New York City studying work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He also studied with Frederick Taubes at the University of Wisconsin before relocating to Berkeley, California.
Watson’s art is most notable for his surrealist and largely vacant spaces within his pieces. This one features a solitary figure walking down a weathered wooden pier under a moody, atmospheric twilight sky.
On the bottom right corner is his signature. Nicely framed in a wooden frame box.
