BRITISH COLUMBIA ARTISTS  

Thorington Blair Robertson

1913 - ?

B.C. Society of Fine Arts


T. Blair Robertson exhibited with the B.C. Society of Fine Arts in 1948, the 39th Annual Exhibition in 1949, and in 1951 and 1953.

He exhibited his work in the 1947, 1948, and 1951 B.C. Artists annual exhibitions.

A news item in the 1946 issue of VANTECH, the annual of the Vancouver Technical School, noted that Thorington Robertson had won the Lister Memorial Tropy for Citizenship at the school in 1931. He was also listed in the 1946 "The Roll of Service" as having served in the R.C.A.F. during World War Two.

A search on the internet provided information that "Robertson, Heather Anne Laure was born on April 14, 1956 in Burbank, California, United States. Daughter of Thorington Blair and Janine O. Robertson." This may indicate that Robertson moved to the United States at some point.
