American Impressionist - Theodore Robinson

American impressionist Theodore Robinson (1852-1896) was born in Irasburg (Vermont) and grew up in Evansville (Wisconsin). In 1869 he entered the Art Institute of Chicago, but the following year was forced to move to Denver due to chronic asthma. In 1874, his health improved significantly, and Robinson moved to New York, where he entered the National Academy of Design. In 1876-78 he lived in France, where he met Renoir. In 1881 Robinson opened his own studio in New York. In 1884 he visited France again. Upon returning to New York in 1892, Robinson received a teaching position at the Brooklyn Art School, and also taught classes at the Evelyn Summer School and at Princeton College. He later taught at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (Philadelphia). The artist spent his last years working on landscapes of Vermont and Connecticut. These quiet works were favorably received by critics at his first exhibition in 1895 at the Macbeth Gallery. A year later, Robinson died at the age of 44 during an asthma attack.
