Low Tide, Riverside Yacht Club

1894
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 769
After returning from France, in 1892, Robinson pursued Impressionism, often visiting the popular artist colony at Cos Cob, Connecticut, where he painted a series of coastal scenes. In this painting, he synthesized the earlier influence of French Impressionist Claude Monet with a newfound interest in Japanese woodblock prints. After acquiring his first in 1894, Robinson observed, "My Japanese print points in a direction I must try and take: an aim for refinement and a kind of precision seen in the best old as well as modern work."
