Norman Robins, born in Germany in 1914, migrated to the UK in 1939 and served in the British Army. After the war, he worked as a commercial artist in London before moving to Australia in 1955. It was in Australia that Robins began painting professionally, focusing on traditional landscapes in oils. He exhibited his works in Melbourne and Sydney, gaining wide recognition for his individualistic style. Robins' paintings, characterised by a heavy impasto technique, reflect his European heritage and are often reminiscent of German Romantic painting. His distinctive approach set him apart in the Australian art scene until his death in 1988.
