Biography synopsis
A painter of colourful and vivacious landscapes, Sarah Robertson spent most of life in Montreal, rarely venturing further than Ontario or Vermont for her subject matter. After studying under William Brymner, Maurice Cullen, and Randolph Hewton, she joined the loosely-knit Beaver Hall Group, which included such artists as Edwin Holgate, A.Y. Jackson, and Kathleen Morris among its members. Perhaps most importantly, she became close friends with Prudence Heward, who often invited her to her family's summer home in Brockville, Ontario where they painted together. Influenced by Impressionism, Fauvism and, to a lesser extent, the Group of Seven, Robertson is known for her rich colours, and the sumptuous, jewel-like quality of her work. In addition to landscapes, she also made chalk drawings, black and white designs, and painted murals for private houses. She was not particularly prolific, generally completing only three to four canvasses in a productive year, most now in private collections. Her work has rarely been shown outside of Canada, where she exhibited with groups such as the Art Association of Montreal (1919-45), the Royal Canadian Academy (1920-23, 1925-27, 1934), the Canadian Group of Painters (1933-1934,1936-39, 1942,1947), and the Ontario Society of Artists (1927-30), though her paintings were in the Wembley exhibitions in England, and at the Riverside Museum in New York City the year before her death. She is represented in the collections of the University of Alberta, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, among others.
