Born in Liverpool, England, Hal Robinson immigrated to the U.S. in 1893. He resided in or around Manhattan for much of his life. His work was centered in landscape painting with influences from Impressionism, Tonalism and the Hudson River School. His palette was often harmonious with a diffused sense of light.
Early in his career in America, he exhibited in New York City, Washington D.C., Pittsburgh and other galleries on the east coast. Eventually he joined many of his Tonalist and Impressionist contemporaries at the painter’s colony in Old Lyme, Connecticut, working together with some of the most important artists of the period. His work is held today in the permanent collections of the Art Collection, Philadelphia and the Cigna Museum.
