Green Park (1947)

Robert Buhler was a painter and teacher, born in London of Swiss parentage.

In the early 1930s he studied painting initially in Zürich and Basle, and attended Bolt Court, St Martin's School of Art and the Royal College of Art.

He left the Royal College after a few months and with the help of money left to him took a studio and began to paint professionally, encouraged by the patron Edward Marsh. His mother had a café in Charlotte Street, so he became familiar with Fitzrovia and was friendly with the Euston Road School painters, whose style left an imprint on his work.
