The Art of Robert Magee marks the culmination of a lifelong passion for the horse. As a boy, Robert often visited the legendary Windfields Farm near his home in Toronto.
Later, after graduating from art school, Robert became a successful designer, working first in the advertising world and then opening his own firm, which specialized in corporate communications. During these years, he was constantly travelling, photographing equestrian events, including the Olympics, the Dublin Horse Show and Secretariat’s Triple Crown win at Belmont. In 1975 his photographic collection was published in New York as The Classic World of Horses.
His imagination fired by the romance of the West, Robert moved to Calgary, Alberta in 1989. His talent and insistence on visual truth have won him critical success for his paintings of legends, famous stallions, the sporting horse, the working horse and the western horse. Over the years his work has been enjoyed via an ever growing series of major one-man exhibitions, books, limited edition prints, paintings for corporate and private clients.
