Theodore Robinson's "Low Tide, Riverside Yacht Club" (1894)

Theodore Robinson (1852–1896) was an American painter known for his association with Impressionism, particularly his connection to Claude Monet. "Low Tide, Riverside Yacht Club," created in 1894, exemplifies Robinson's adept use of oil on canvas to capture the serene and atmospheric qualities of a coastal scene. This work reflects Robinson's ability to blend American subject matter with the Impressionist style, characterized by loose brushwork and a focus on light and color. The painting holds historical significance as it represents the cross-cultural exchange between American and European art movements during the late 19th century. Robinson's contributions to American Impressionism were pivotal, as he was among the first American artists to adopt and adapt the techniques he learned in France. His works continue to be celebrated for their delicate portrayal of natural light and their role in the evolution of American art.
