Robert Vickrey

Robert Remsen Vickrey was an American artist. He was known for his meticulously detailed egg tempera paintings, which often depicted dreamlike and surreal scenes.

Vickrey attended the Art Students League of New York and later studied under Reginald Marsh at the New School for Social Research. He began working in egg tempera in the early 1950s and developed a unique technique that involved layering thin glazes of paint to create luminous, almost photographic images. Many of his paintings featured ghostly figures and ethereal landscapes, and were inspired by dreams and his own imagination.

Vickrey's work was widely exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States, and he received numerous awards and honors during his career. He was a member of the National Academy of Design and the National Academy of Arts and Letters, and his paintings are held in many important public and private collections.

In addition to his work as a painter, Vickrey was also a teacher and mentor to many younger artists. He taught at several art schools, including the School of Visual Arts in New York City and the Rhode Island School of Design, and wrote several books on egg tempera technique. Vickrey's contributions to the art world have been widely recognized, and his legacy continues to inspire and influence generations of artists.
