W. G. Robb

W. G. Robb is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

W. G. Robb moved through the Scottish moors with a sketchbook and a pipe, stopping wherever the heather smelled strongest. His drawings of A Scotch Moor capture the way the light turns peaty water into a sheet of hammered metal at dusk. To see that same violet glow, look up “A Scotch Moor” in the app and zoom in on the paper’s texture, no paint, just graphite and patience.
