Robert Franz Curry (* November 2, 1872, in Boston;[1] † August 23, 1955[2] in Riederau) was a US-American landscape painter of Impressionism.
[citation needed] Curry was the son of a wealthy American wool merchant and later owner of a steel construction company and a foundry, making him financially independent throughout his life.
Elfriede Ruhrberg described his painting style in 2004 in a publication by the Oberstdorf Beautification Association as follows: "In the composition of his paintings, Curry preferred the principle of the diagonal, i.e., the focal point runs from the top right to the bottom left, captured by a counterpoint group in the left half, with the limiting background of the mountains.
The images are placed in a tension arc through the bright, nuanced, structured colors of snow and mountains or the contrasting brown-ocher tones of trees and bushes in spring landscapes.
He exhibited at the Kunstverein München, the Glass Palace, the art associations in Augsburg, Nuremberg, and Mannheim, in Chur, in France, and in the USA.
