BIBLIOGRAPHIE
Thomas R. Lee, Albert H. Robinson: "The Painter's Painter," 1956, unpaginated


“Robinson has painted throughout Quebec and he understands the habitant and his environment. The quaint and characteristic houses and farm buildings, sleds and ships, winter snow and ice-bound rivers are his themes, and he does them so brilliantly and with such a mastery of his medium.”—Arthur Lismer

As can be discerned by this quote, Albert Robinson was well known and respected by Group of Seven members such as Lismer, and by A.Y. Jackson, with whom he painted in winter trips along the “artist trails” on the shores of the St. Lawrence River. Jackson wrote, “There was something about Robinson that melted all reserve as the frost disappears when the sun rises.”

Winter Landscape is a classic subject for Robinson, portraying the everyday life of the village, including an iconic horse and sleigh traversing the snowy path. Counteracting the grey, wintery sky, Robinson’s white-based palette with creamy pastel tones illuminates the scene. His use of paint is spontaneous and vigorous, the brushwork clearly visible. Both the fresh, chill outdoor atmosphere and the warmth of village life are palpable in this fine example of Robinson’s work.
