VINTAGE 1984, THE WORLD OF CANADIAN PAINTER, ROBERT BATEMAN, COFFEE TABLE BOOK, AUTOGRAPHED!!!

Robert McLellan Bateman is a Canadian Naturalist and Painter, born in Toronto, Ontario.

Bateman was always interested in Art, but never intended to make a living from it. He was fascinated by the natural world in his childhood.

He recorded the sightings of all of the birds in the area of his house in Toronto and created small paintings with birds in their habitats. He found inspiration from the Group of Seven. Later, he became interested in making abstract paintings of nature, strongly influenced by the work of Franz Kline.

It was not until the Mid 1960s that he changed to his present style, Realism. In 1954, he graduated with a degree in geography from the Victoria College in the University of Toronto. Afterwards, he attended Ontario College of Education. Starting in 1957, Bateman travelled around the world for 14 months in a Land Rover with his friend J. Bristol Foster. As they made their way through Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and Australia, Bateman Painted and Sketched what he saw.
