famous artist winslow homer and famous writer rudyard kipling his early art work focused on the sea with paintings and drawings of boats around 1890 he traveled to paris to study at the academie julian upon his return to the united states he began to exhibit his art and teach in both philadelphia and new york  william robinson to us all was first and last a painter he had few hobbies and did not seem to need any he painted the beauty of the new england countryside its harbors and vessels with devotion and knowledge accumulated through long years of study and acquaintance   robinson s biographer for the salmagundi club frederick lester sexton 1945 old lyme during the first two decades of the 20th century the village of old lyme connecticut was the setting for one of the largest and most significant art colonies in america centered in the boardinghouse of miss florence griswold 18501937 the colony attracted many leading artists henry ward ranger childe hassam and willard metcalf among them who were in the vanguard of the tonalist and impressionist movements drawn to old lyme by its natural beauty they discovered an old new england setting that was as one observer noted expressive of the quiet dignity of other days here was a country retreat where as metcalf put it every day is so in line with work interacting with each other and with the community the artists of the colony produced an impressive body of work which achieved renown in its day and still calls attention to the enduring and fragile qualities of the rural new england landscape old lyme recreated many of the features found abroad and was for a time identified in the popular press as the american barbizon or the american giverny a stay at the griswold house provided an artist with affordable lodgings good food and company the availability of studio space and varied subject matter for pleinair painting but old lyme offered something more a retreat from the hurried pace of the city to a town that time had largely forgotten from jeffery anders in 1905 william s robinson traveled from new york to the village of old lyme connecticut to stay at the boardinghouse of florence griswold 18501937 he worked in a studio near the brook that flows in the corner of the property in 1921 robinson moved into the boardinghouse and established a fulltime studio on the grounds during this same year the new building for the lyme art association designed by charles platt opened and robinson became a charter member years later he was elected their president once sequestered in old lyme his paintings revel in the surrounding landscape according to his salmagundi club biographer his best pictures are not always of sailing vessels but more often of connecticut hillsides and pasture lands especially about old lyme where he lived for thirtyone years in the old griswold house working in a studio across the brook from the lyme art association gallery robinson was one of the few people with miss florence when she died in the house in 1937 shortly thereafter the boardinghouse was shut down and all of her belongings sold in a public auction on the front lawn of the house robinson then moved to biloxi mississippi where he continued to create impressionistic landscapes instead of stoic new england homesteads and blossoming mountain laurel however he painted charming images of shrimp
