About the Artist:
Mary Cane Robinson was born in 1910 in New York City, the daughter of one of the foremost art educators of her day, Florence Cane of the Florence Cane School, and of Melville Cane, a copyright lawyer and poet. Mary was an identical twin. She attended a school founded by her aunt, of the first progressive schools in the city, the Walden School, from preschool until graduation in 1928. At the age of eighteen, she traveled to Germany and studied drawing in Munich for one year with the abstract expressionist, Hans Hofmann. This was an important and vital experience for Robinson as she worked daily with life models.
Robinson returned to New York and in the 1930s studied art with Jean Charlot at her mother's school and at the Pratt Institute. She taught art at the Dalton School for three years and at The Hessian Hills School in Croton-On-Hudson.
Robinson states that there was no single influence on her art. Living in New York City, she was exposed to much art, old and new, European and American. Fauvism, cubism, abstraction, abstract expressionism, and minimalism were stimulating and exciting components of the New York art scene. Some of the artists who may have influenced her work are Marin, Hartley, Demuth, Klee, Redon, Matisse, and Miro.
Mary Robinson moved to Denver in 1947. She was active throughout the Denver community teaching and exhibiting art. She studied in Denver with Connie Smith Siegel, Wilbert Verhelst, and her future brother-in-law, Roland Detre. She taught art in the 1950s at the Denver Art Museum and at Graland School. Robinson showed her work at the Denver Art Museum, the Jewish Community Center, the Gilpin County Arts Association, the Boulder Center for Visual Arts, in the cities of San Antonio and Los Angeles, at the several private shows.
Her work evokes the work of the great American modernist, Arthur Dove, in its nonobjective lyricism in which she expresses her inner self. Mary Robinson had a genuine love for nature, from the mountains to the flowers in the garden. She was one of Colorado's most acclaimed expressionist artists. Mary Cane Robinson writes:
"In the fine arts you are researching yourself, trusting your gesture, your brush and your paint. You allow feeling to enter. You do what gives you the most pleasure, what makes you feel good. You aim to sustain that feeling. Each canvas holds a surprise for me. Each picture is an unfolding, a partnership of trust…trust in the unknown."
Robinson's unique vision is the simplicity of a shy artist combined with the subtlety and distinction of a sophisticate. In her best work, she relates the essence of Colorado's natural beauty to herself in a fantasy of color shapes. Robinson worked in all mediums- prints, drawings, watercolors, pastels, oils, and acrylics. She was successful in all because of her journeyman dedication to expressing her feelings through drawing and color. © Elizabeth Schlosser, Modern Art in Denver (1919-1960)
