Theodore Robinson Morning Fog, Giverny Oil on panel, 10 1/2 x 14 inches Signed lower right, 1890 "...Robinson's brush is everywhere animated and emphatic. For this highly trained draftsman the paint never hesitated to find the exact position. He painted the incidental figure with the same knowledge and understanding as the surrounding landscape. His figures belong to the landscape, make a part of its every day aspect and are in no way forced or merely appended." -Elliot C. Clark, Robinson biographer, 1979Theodore Robinson, together with fellow American artists Willard Metcalf, John Leslie Breck, Theodore Wendel and William Blair Bruce, was a founding member of the American art colony in Giverny, France. A close friend of Claude Monet, the young artist was heavily influenced by the master of French Impressionism. As evidenced in paintings such as Morning Fog, Giverny, Robinson employed the broken color technique only in moderation and preferred more subtle tones, often painting en plein air in diffused light.View additional works by this artist
