Portrait of Theodore Robinson

Theodore Robinson

American 1852–1896

Theodore Robinson was the first major American Impressionist, a close friend of Claude Monet who spent years at Giverny working alongside him. His paintings of the French countryside and American landscapes bring a personal, poetic sensibility to Impressionist technique. Short-lived and underappreciated in his time, he is now recognized as a crucial bridge between French and American Impressionism.
