About the artist-
Robert Lebron's fascination for art is evident in each image he creates. With each stroke of the palette knife, Lebron paints from the depth of his imagination, to his heart and soul.
At an early age, Lebron discovered his passion for art. After moving from New York City to Puerto Rico at age two, he spent his early years with his fisherman cousin who often told him the perils of the sea. Inspired by these tales, Lebron and his cousin would illustrate these stories on old paper bags. From boats to battlefields, they discovered the magic of art. He returned to New York in the 1930s and it didn't take long for Lebron's teachers to discover his abilities. He won admission to New York's prestigious high school for art and music, The Art Student's League. After serving in the United States Air Force, he attended art college and then launched his career as an artist. His original oils are an important part of public, corporate and private collections.
His paintings continue to reflect his favorite theatrical and literary heroes. Many of the details in his paintings feature favorite characters from his childhood including a tiny dog (present in each painting) inspired by the comic strip, ~Dickie Dare~
