Robert Buhler, RA (1916-1989)

Robert Buhler was born in London of Swiss parentage. He first studied art in Switzerland, in 1933, at the Kunstgewerbe Schule, Zurich, and also in Basle. On his return to London, he attended St Martin’s School of Art under Harry Morley, Vivian Pitchforth and Leon Underwood. But, while he then won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art, he gave it up after six months in favour of a studio in Camden Town. While establishing himself as a painter, he also taught part-time at Wimbledon School of Art.

Buhler met leading members of the Euston Road School in his mother’s Soho cafe and bookshop.
