Robert Bateman's Calendar
Born in Toronto, Robert Bateman has been a keen artist and naturalist from his early days. He has always painted
wildlife and nature, beginning with a representational style, moving through impressionism and cubism to abstract
expressionism. In his early thirties he moved back to realism as a more suitable way to express the particularity
of the planet. It is this style that has made him one of the foremost artists depicting the world of nature.
In the '70s and early '80s, Robert Bateman 's work began to receive critical acclaim and to attract an enormous
following. His work is in many public and private collections and several art museums. He was commissioned
by the Governor-General of Canada to create a painting as the wedding gift for HRH The Prince Charles from
the people of Canada. His work is also represented in the collection of HRH The Prince Philip, the late Princess
Grace of Monaco and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. Robert Bateman has had many one-man museum
shows throughout North America, including an exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.;
most of these shows have drawn record-breaking crowds. His honors, awards and honorary doctorates are
numerous; he was made Officer of the Order of Canada, the country's highest civilian award. He was awarded
the Golden Plate Award from the American Academy of Achievement. He has also been the subject of three films
and several video productions. Three books of his art, The Art of Robert Bateman , The World of Robert Bateman
, and Robert Bateman : An Artist in Nature, have made publishing history. A fourth book of his art, Robert
Bateman : Natural Worlds, focuses on the importance of natural and cultural heritage. Safari, an illustrated
book for young readers, contains firsthand accounts and interesting facts about African wildlife. The book,
Thinking Like a Mountain, details Robert Bateman 's environmental philosophies and observations and
includes pencil sketches throughout.
It is in honor of his contribution to art and conservation that both a public school and a secondary school in
Canadahave been named after him. With a degree in geography from the University of Toronto, Robert Bateman
taught high school for 20 years, including two years in Nigeria. He traveled around the world in a Land Rover
in 1957/58, increasing his appreciation of cultural and natural heritage. Since leaving teaching in 1976 to paint
full time, he has traveled widely with his wife, Birgit, to many remote natural areas.
Robert Bateman in the Gallery
Robert Bateman 's art reflects his commitment to ecology and preservation. Since the early '60s, he has been
an active member of naturalist clubs and other conservation organizations. This involvement has increased in
recent years and is now on a global scale. He has become a spokesman for many environmental and preservation
issues and has used his artwork and limited edition prints in fund-raising efforts which have provided millions
of dollars for these worthy causes. He says, "I can't conceive of anything being more varied and rich and handsome
than the planet Earth. And its crowning beauty is the natural world. I want to soak it up, to understand it as well
as I can, and to absorb it. And then I'd like to put it together and express it in my painting. This is the way I
want to dedicate my work."
