Robert W. White (1921 – 2002)

A man of boisterous charm and intellectual thoughtfulness, his work had an Italian sensuousness, a German Romanticism, and an American robustness. Of great technical ability, his work was private rather than public, intimate rather than monumental, broad in its reflective concepts, always a praise of the human figure, conscious of its psychological as well as its physical impact. It explores the contrast between the romantic and the classical, the luxurious and the austere, faithful to an American tradition that he felt was worth building on.
