Barbara Robinson - Original 1966 Oil. Signed and dated on the reverse. With label of The New Art Centre, Sloane Street, London on the reverse. In fine condition.Barbara Robinson was born in London in 1928. She was educated at the Lycée Français du Royaume Uni and then in the holidays from Kensington High School, London. In 1943, at the age of 15, she entered the Slade School of Art, where she studied art until 1947. Barbara and her husband emigrated to France in 1957, where they settled in the small village of Vic-le-Fesq, in the Languedoc. The quality of the light and the vibrance of the colours of the region transformed her painting, and made it what it is today. Her reputation increased steadily as a contemporary painter, with a series of exhibitions at the New Art Centre, London, in 1959, 1960, 1964, 1966, 1968, 1970, 1972, 1974, 1983. Public collections include the Contemporary Art Society, National Gallery of W. Australia; Museums at La Rochelle, Monte Carlo and Nîmes; St Hilda's College, Oxford; Girton College, Cambridge; St Anne's College, Oxford; Several Government Ministries; Society of Performing Arts, London, and others.
