Phyllis Hollands-Robinson

Phyllis Hollands-Robinson is one of the few living painters whose work stems directly from the great French Impressionists.  Studies at the American Academy of Art, Chicago Academy of Art, Academie de la Grande Chaumiers and other ateliers in Paris were, of course, good basic training , but her true knowledge was aquired through her painting with Pierre Bertrand, who was known as "Le Grandpere" of post-Impressionism. Bertrand was a severe critic to Hollands-Robinson as Monet, Renoir, Pissaro and Gaugin were to him.

"Impressionism never has ceased to delight my senses. It deals with light and nature, the source of all things. The beauty of which the best artists can never quite recreate, therefore a constant challenge."

Hollands-Robinson has had over 50 one-woman exhibitions throughout the US and Europe, and exhibited in the Royal Academy in London.  Her paintings are in the permanent collections of nine museums in France including Bordeaux and Avignon.  She is the first American artist invited to show at the prestigious Paris exhibition presented annually by the Musee Galleria by Les Peintres Temoins de leur Temps. Among her numerous collectors are Dr. & Mrs. Wolfgang Porsche(Stuttgart-St.Thomas-St.Tropez), Eunice Kennedy Shriver(MA,USA), Mr. J.C. Totman(Switzerland) and Mr. & Mrs. Thomas Erickson(Hawaii-Illinois,USA).
