{"title":"Robinson, Theodore","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheodore Robinson (1852-1896)\u003c\/strong\u003e was an American painter best known for his Impressionist landscapes. He was one of the first American artists to take up Impressionism in the late 1880s, visiting Giverny and developing a close friendship with Claude Monet. Several of his works are considered masterpieces of American Impressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobinson was born in Irasburg, Vermont. His family moved to Evansville, Wisconsin, and Robinson briefly studied art in Chicago. In 1874 he journeyed to New York City to attend classes at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1876 he travelled to Paris to study under Carolus-Duran and at the École des Beaux-Arts, with Jean-Léon Gérôme. He first exhibited his paintings at the 1877 Salon in Paris, and spent the summer of that year at Grez-sur-Loing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter trips to Venice and Bologna, he returned to the United States in 1879 for several years. In 1881 he moved into a studio in New York and became a professional painter and art teacher, and in the same year became a member of the Society of American Artists. During this time Robinson painted in a realist manner, loosely brushed but not yet impressionistic, often depicting people engaged in quiet domestic or agrarian pursuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1884 Robinson returned to France where he lived for the next eight years, visiting America only occasionally. Robinson gravitated to Giverny, which had become a centre of French impressionist art under the influence of Claude Monet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorians are unclear when Robinson met Monet, but by 1888 their friendship was enough for Robinson to move in next door to the famous impressionist. Robinson's art shifted to a more traditional impressionistic manner during this time, likely due to Monet's influence. While several American artists had gathered at Giverny, none were as close to Monet as Robinson. Monet offered advice to Robinson, and he likewise solicited Robinson for opinions on Monet's own works in progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as taking to heart Monet´s theoretical admonitions and his requirement to portray the beauties and mysteries of nature in a manner stringently truthful to one's personal vision, he also studied works that were available to him in \"The Master´s\" studio. For instance, Capri, painted in 1890, was probably inspired by Monet´s paintings of the cliffs at Varengeville, Pourville, and Etretat and the rocks at Bell-Ile of the early 1880s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Giverny, Robinson painted what art historians regard as some of his finest works. These depicted the surrounding countryside in different weather, in the plein air tradition, sometimes with women shown in leisurely poses. His Winter Landscape won the 1890 Webb Prize. Another example of his mature work during this period is La Débâcle (1892) in the collection of Scripps College, Claremont California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobinson left France and Monet for the final time in 1892, although he meant to return. Back in America, Robinson obtained a teaching post with the Brooklyn Art School and conducted summer classes in Napanoch, New York, near the Catskill Mountains, where he painted several canal scenes. He also taught at Evelyn College in Princeton, New Jersey, and later at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith New York City as his base, Robinson circulated among a growing number of American artists pursuing Impressionism. He was particularly close to John Henry Twachtman and Julian Alden Weir, and spent time at the nearby Cos Cob Art Colony in Connecticut. There he painted a series of boat scenes at the Riverside Yacht Club which have come to be regarded as among his finest works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile his reputation as an important American Impressionist was growing, Robinson still needed to teach to support himself. He also harboured doubts about the quality of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout his career, Theodore Robinson kept meticulous diaries, but only the last several years of the diaries are known to exist. These are in the collection of the Frick Art Reference Library in New York and available to scholars. The art historian Sona Johnson, of the Baltimore Museum of Art, plans to publish an annotated edition of the Robinson diaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the last year of his life he was asked to contribute to the book of essays titled Modern French Masters by the editor and art historian John Charles Van Dyke. He wrote an essay on the Barbizon painter Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and, because of his friendship with the French Impressionist, he wrote and illustrated the essay on Claude Monet. The book was published in 1896 and his illustration of Monet was featured in the exhibition \"In Monet's Light.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1895, Robinson enjoyed a productive period in Vermont, and in February 1896 he wrote to Monet about returning to Giverny, but in April he died of an acute asthma attack in New York City. He was buried in his hometown of Evansville, Wisconsin. He was 43 years old.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"impressionist-snow-scenes-63-images","title":"Impressionist Snow Scenes - 63 High Resolution Images","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor this lovely Christmassy collection, we've brought together some snowy landscapes from different Impressionist artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are 63 images in the collection, including:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGustave Caillebotte (3 images)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChilde Hassam (5 images)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobert Henri (1 image)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaszlo Mednyanszky (4 images)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClaude Monet (20 images)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamille Pissarro (14 images)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePierre-August Renoir (1 image)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheodore Robinson (1 image)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlfred Sisley (14 images)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are great to use for Christmas cards, calendars, crafts and whatever you want to use them for, without any restrictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download features 63 hi-res images in JPEG format that are all 600dpi and range in size from 2744 pixels wide\/tall to 7044 pixels wide\/tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pictures are out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use them in whatever way you’d like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 63 images","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49674595336522,"sku":"","price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/ImpressionistSnowScenes-63images.jpg?v=1747045221"},{"product_id":"robinson-theodore-1852-1896-la-debacle-1892","title":"Robinson, Theodore (1852-1896) - La Debacle 1892","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtwork featuring a woman sitting by a bridge with a book by American Impressionist artist Theodore Robinson.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 2 images in JPEG format that are 600dpi, and 6144 x 5048 pixels and 6480 x 7752 pixels.
