Robert Newton Hurley was born in 1894 in London, England, where he trained as an apprentice printer-compositor until his mid 20s. He immigrated to Canada in 1923 and settled in Saskatoon in 1930. Hurley focused primarily on prairie landscapes and paid particular attention to subjects such as grain elevators, receding roads, and telephone poles. His romantic use of colour and stylized objects became his trademark. His work has been exhibited and collected across Canada and appeared in 1971 at an exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada. His work is sold in leading Canadian galleries and appears regularly at auction and reach prices of $1,000 or more.
