He came to the United States as a youth and traveled over the country and Canada and Mexico studying the people and the landscape. For over 60 years he was America's most popular landscape artist. Robert Wood brought to life the beautiful landscapes all across America.

I met Robert when I was 9 years old. My grandmother artist was visiting his wife Caryl and he made an appearance. I was very impressed. Even at that time and age of my life I knew he was a very important man.
