Mary Robertson
Odd Fellows No. 44 / watercolor framed

2016

About the Item

Family and friends cooling off in a lazy river on Odd Fellows Beach, from important Bay Area figurative contemporary artists Mary Robertson, who is associated with the Bay Area Figurative School, founded by Elmer Bischoff, Richard Diebenkorn and David Park. Mentored by Gordon Cook, Roberson focuses on an area she knows intimately — Northern California's Russian River, where she lives and works. Wayne Thiebaud said of her painting, “Mary Robertson’s joyous and meditative paintings are are colorful simulations of contentment and sacred play.” Steeped in the Bay Area figurative movement, Mary Robertson’s oeuvre focuses on an area she knows intimately—Northern California's Russian River, where she has been painting for over 25 years. The region’s beaches, umbrellas, floats, and figures are iconic in the quiet and intimate paintings of Robertson, but it is the afternoon Bay Area light that takes center stage, as it interacts with the landscape to create the real magic. Her oil paintings and watercolors have an affinity with the American Realists, the Impressionists, and the Pointillists such as Seurat. When taking in a Robertson scene, there is a sense of time standing still, and being bathed in a lazy California summer glow that doesn’t fade. Image is 7 5/8 x 8 3/4 inches with all archival neutral matting and maple framing the outer dimension is 15 1/2 x 16 1/4 inches.
