Clifford Foard Robinson (1916–1992) studied at Coste House in Calgary post war. He became a significant Canadian artist and printmaker pivotal to the Calgary and Alberta art scene, known for embracing the Modernist movement. Primarily renowned for his expressive monotypes, woodcuts, and linocuts, he often depicted human subjects with an emotional depth that addressed social issues.
Robinson was also a prolific teacher and traveler. He influenced the Canadian art world from the Banff School of Fine Arts to his time as the first Director of TV design for CBC Vancouver. His enduring legacy includes works held in major collections, such as the National Gallery of Canada and the Library of Congress. After his passing in 1992, the National Gallery of Canada purchased a volume of his work from his estate.
