Theodore Robinson
American Impressionist painter
born 1852 - died 1896

Student of: Emile Auguste Carolus-Duran (1838-1917), Jean Léon Gérôme (1824-1904).

One of the first and most important of the American Impressionist painters, Theodore Robinson was responsible for introducing French Impressionism to many Americans.

Robinson was born in Irasburg, Vermont, in l852 but moved with his family to Wisconsin when Theodore Robinson was three. Robinson was a sickly child; an asthmatic condition plagued him throughout his life and was responsible for his premature death at age forty-four.- American Robinson Theodore custom oil painting from photo- Robinson Theodore custom American oil painting from photo –custom oil painting Robinson Theodore Bio by American custom oil paintings shop of Robinson oil painting from photo.

Robinson’s studies began in Chicago, but in l874 Theodore Robinson moved to New York City to study at the National Academy of Design. In l876, Robinson went to Paris to study under Emile Auguste Carolus-Duran, but left to enroll at the Ecole des Beaux Arts under Jean-Leon Gerome. Robinson paintings were mostly of landscapes and figures executed still in a realistic style. Robinson spent summers in the village of Grez-sur-Loing with a colony of Americans, including the artists Birge Harrison and Will H. Low and the writer Robert Louis Stevenson. Before returning home in l879 Robinson spent some time in Italy. His only meeting with James McNeill Whistler occured in Venice, where the two artists painted side by side.
Upon his return to America, Robinson taught in New York City and Boston, where Theodore Robinson did decorative paintings under John La Farge for both public and private buildings. During this time Theodore Robinson also made a number of journeys from the city: to Jamaica, Vermont, Boston and then to Nantucket where Theodore Robinson summered with artists Joe Evans and Abbott Thayer and produced a number of paintings of local subjects. By l884, however, Robinson had accumulated enough money to return to his beloved France to paint.

The turning point in Robinson’s artistic life came when Theodore Robinson went to live at Giverny, near Rouen, and met the resident artist there, Claude Monet. Although never Monet’s student, Robinson became part of his inner circle. His colors became softer, his brushstrokes lighter and his paintings more sensitive, although Theodore Robinson still retained decisive contours at this time. Like Monet Robinson often painted serially, utilizing the same outdoor scene in different lights.
