About the Item
Mid Century Seascape and Figural Original oil painting on Linen 1956
Solitary figure on wharf by California artist Robert Watson, painted 1956 (1923 - 2004)The following, is from Tony Watson, son of the artist who wrote and was published in the San Francisco Chronicle. "In every painting Watson repeated the motif of solitary figures with their backs to the viewer. Here, the desolation of the scene and the curious mood of tranquility and despair combined are observed with stoic silence by these solitary watchers who seem to have lived long and seen all. They represent not only Robert Watson's quest but ours as well, for we too are lonely men in the mysterious world.
Signed "R. Watson 56" lower right.

A resident of Berkeley during the 50's and 60's, Robert lived in Westport, Connecticut until 1973, when he moved to his current home in San Diego County.
Robert was born in Martinez, CA on Feb.28, 1923. After several years of studying art in New York City and with Fredrick Taubes at the University of Wisconsin, Robert had his first one-man show at Gumps in San Francisco in 1948. After a glowing review by Alfred Frankenstein of the "Chronicle", his career took off.
Robert has been represented in one man art shows in all the major U.S. cities as well as London, Paris, Venice, Athens and Jerusalem. Robert has had dozens of one- man shows in San Francisco. .
Mr. Watson also provided the cover art for Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles", 2nd edition, printed in 1953.
Robert Watson's art is in many international private collections and museums, including the National Gallery in Washington DC.
On May 17, 1997, Robert had his 50 year retrospective show at Weinstein Galleries of San Francisco. Mayor Willie Brown proclaimed that day to be "Robert Watson Day" in San Francisco.

Robert Watson
Robert Watson was the son of the Victorian landscape painter William Watson (1809-1871), and the brother of fellow artists Charles Watson (1857-1923) and William Watson Jnr (1847-1921). The favourite subject of all three sons was Scottish highland views, especially those featuring native longhorn cattle. Between 1890 and 1920, Robert Watson exhibited in Glasgow and Liverpool, and today his Scottish landscapes can be found in the collections of numerous UK museums and galleries.
