Hal Robinson (1867 - 1933) American - Hal Robinson (1867 - 1933) Oil on Canvas, Signed Lower Left, Measures ( 14 x 20 inches ) w/frame ( 16.5 x 22.5 inches ) Landscape painter in oil and watercolor. Though long considered an artist who was born and raised in America, he was actually not named â€Å“Hal” and was not American at all. Harry Robinson was born in Leominster, County Hereford, England (though his obituary says Newcastle, England), the son of Hannah G. (b. 1844) and Dr. Henry Robinson (b. 1844), a prominent doctor and master chemist. Harry Robinson spent much of childhood in Liverpool, where his father practiced his profession, and where he was raised alongside his younger brother, George Robinson (b. 1869). Though American sources often report his birth year as 1875, according to his parish baptism record he was actually born in 1867.
