Theodore Robinson
(1852–1896)
Theodore Robinson's family moved from Irasburg, Vermont, to Wisconsin when he was 3. The young boy was troubled chronically by asthma. In about 1870 he enrolled at the Art Institute of Chicago; but stayed only a brief time because of his poor health. Four years later he enrolled at he National Academy of Design in New York, and soon after broke away from the academy to form the Art Students League (he suggested the name). Robinson spent much of his adult life in Europe. He lived in Paris and Venice from 1876 until 1879, returned to the States, and lived abroad again from 1884 to 1892. Beginning in 1887 he worked in Giverny. He became good friends with Monet, and as a result lightened his palette and adopted the Impressionist concern for light. But he retained an American preoccupation with realism: he never let color govern form.
