ROBERT WATSON (1923-2004) AMERICAN SURREALIST
Est: $800 - $1,000
Robert Watson (California, 1923 - 2004) American Surrealist Oil on Artist Board. In Frame and Matted measures 20"x18"x2". Weight 5 pds. Robert Watson (1923 - 2004) was born in Martinez, California in a big house overlooking the bay, and with him was born the subject of all his paintings - the loneliness of man in the mysterious world. California provided this subject with a stage of vast space on which to grow and evolve. It wasn't until after High School, odd jobs, a sojourn in the Army and study at Universities of California and Wisconsin that Watson's lonely man, mysterious world became concrete through reality of paint on canvas. This occurred between 1943 and 1947 when he went to New York and later spent eight weeks studying with Frederic Taubes in Wisconsin. Watson's career, a highly successful one, began with his first one-man show in 1947 at Gump's and in 1950 in the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, both in San Francisco. Watsons mysterious world shows ancient buildings, vast in scale and placed on plateaus that merge with the sky. His highly refined technique merges two separate colors with a tender brush to create an effect of blurred vision, yet the finish is silky smooth. In every painting Watson repeated the motif of solitary figures with their backs to the viewer. PROVENANCE: A Private Charleston SC Estate.

Attending a Flock of Sheep in the Scottish Highland Landscape Oil Painting by Robert William Watson 1916 Measuring Approximately: Framed: 32" x 42" Canvas: 22" x 30" Bio: Robert William Watson (1855-1912) was born in Brighton, Sussex in 1855.

They had three daughters, Gertrude, Beatrice and Florence. Watson came from a family of painters who excelled in Cattle and Highland landscape paintings. He exhibited a number of his works across the UK including Liverpool and Glasgow. Queen Victoria was an avid collector of Scottish works of art which made Watson Highland scenes incredibly popular in the late 19th Century. Robert Watson’s works can be found in collections at the Williamson Art Gallery, Astley Hall Museum & Art Gallery, Brighton & Hove Museum, Maidstone Museum, Burnley Town Hall, Towneley Hall Art Gallery & the Harris Museum.
