Visual Arts Paper Visual Arts Paper Fifth Avenue at Madison Square opened at The Columbus Museum of Art in 1931. It was a gift to the museum from Ferdinand Howald. Though Ferdinand presented this painting as a gift to the museum he wasn’t the artist who painted it. This picture was painted by Theodore Robinson in 1894 two years before his death. This painter only lived forty-four years from 1852 to 1896. Robinson was an American Impressionist who spent most of his life abroad. He studied and trained at various art institutions between the United States and Europe. One of which was when he visited Claude Monet at Giverny. He visited there briefly in 1887 and summered there frequently till 1892. Though Robinson and Monet shared a warm friendship, Robinson takes exception to being a pupil to Monet. A characteristic of Robinson was the he used photographs as a preliminary study. This earned him signal honors for his personal adaptation of impressionism. He earned this honor four years before his death when he arrived back in the United States.
