Robert Marshall
Robert Marshall was born in Mesquite,
Nevada. He attended Brigham Young
University, where he earned a Bachelor of
Arts in 1966 and a Master of Arts in 1968.
He began teaching soon after graduation
at Fullerton College in California. In 1969,
he moved to Utah to join the studio art
faculty at BYU. He has served as chairman
of the art department for 12 years and as
director of study abroad programs in
London and in Madrid. Marshall believes
that as a professor, he can give back to
humankind some of what he has been
given. Part of the fulfillment he finds in
teaching comes from being able to share in
the creative processes of others.
Marshall is an accomplished draftsman and
is knowledgeable in color theory, film
making, and in contemporary art history.
As a painter, he originally was best known
for his watercolor landscapes, but after a
time he felt the need to grow and
progress, and he took a leave of absence
from the university and began working in
oils on large canvases. Since that time, he
has gone from painting his children and
patterns and objects in his house, to a
series of paintings of pottery, to a series
combining pottery and fabric„he felt the
need to add some rectangles and sharp
edges to the ovals and the ellipses of the
pots. He says he got very interested in the
folds of the fabric„the paintings became
like little landscapes to him. The next
move, from painting fabric to actual
landscapes, came naturally.
