 In Monets Light - Theodore Robinson at Giverny at the Phoenix Art Museum - A Review by Donald Goddard
Theodore Robinson visited France for the first time in 1875 at the age of 23 and stayed there through 1879, studying in Paris with Karl Lehmann, Emile-Auguste Carolus-Duran, Jean-Léon Gérome, Alexandre Cabanel, and probably Benjamin Constant; entering his work in the Paris Salon; and traveling in France and Italy.
Many of the people Robinson portrayed lived there and were very much part of the countryside he adopted--mostly women, at the well, gathering wood, sewing, gathering fruit, washing clothes at the river--and they are indeed aspects of the scenes, as in most Impressionist paintings.
Robinson learned a great deal from Monet's serial paintings of motifs under changing conditions of light, his paintings of haystacks and poplars, but took the idea in quite a different direction.

 AIC Art Explorer : AIC : Text : Theodore Robinson's The Valley of Arconville, c. 1887
Theodore Robinson was among the first of many American artists to paint in the French village of Giverny, where Claude Monet had rented property beginning in 1883.
Although Robinson was trained in the academic tradition in New York City and at the Ecole des beaux-arts, Paris, he had already begun to experiment with more diffuse, plein-air painting techniques in the artists' colonies at Grez and Barbizon before going to Giverny in the late 1880s.
Robinson's spontaneous, active handling in these areas is balanced by the more deliberately placed, flat patches of color that convey the solidity of the houses in the valley below.
