Robin Page

Robin Page was a British artist and sculptor who made significant contributions to the art world during the 20th century. He was born in 1927 in the county of Cumbria, where he spent most of his life. Page was known for his unique style of modern art that depicted the lives of rural people and their connection with nature. He was particularly interested in the use of natural materials such as stone, wood, and bronze, which he used to create his sculptures. Page's works were widely acclaimed for their ability to capture the essence of rural life and the natural world. His sculptures were often inspired by the people and landscapes of Cumbria, which he knew intimately. He was also known for his ability to convey emotion and feeling through his art, making his sculptures both visually striking and emotionally powerful. One of Page's most famous works is the sculpture 'Two Boys Fishing,' which was commissioned to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the National Trust. The sculpture depicts two young boys fishing in a river and has become an iconic symbol of the British countryside. Page's other notable works include 'The Shepherd,' 'The Farmer,' and 'The Fisherman,' all of which depict rural life in Cumbria. Despite his success as an artist, Page remained humble and dedicated to his craft throughout his life. He continued to work on new projects until his death in 2015, leaving behind a legacy of art that continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
