Attributed Theodore Robinson (1852 - 1896) American. Watercolor on Paper. Measure 11 1/2"in H x 8 3/4"in W and 17 3/4"in H x 14 3/4"in W with frame. Known for: Landscape, genre, portrait painting. A leading American Impressionist, Theodore Robinson was perhaps the most traditionally French in style. Originally from Wisconsin, he studied art in Chicago and New York before moving on to France for the better part of two decades. Arriving in 1876, he studied with Carolus Duran and Jean Leon Gerome. Duran was spontaneous, and one only has to see the work of John Singer Sargent to appreciate those qualities. On the other hand Gerome was meticulous, much like his American pupil Thomas Eakins. Robinson wanted to achieve both. He did this through pioneering use of photography, and well orchestrated, large-scale compositions. The subjects were a product of his rural American background, often relating the art of Winslow Homer, whose work he was known to have admired.
