Robert Pilot perpetuated the Impressionist tradition throughout his artistic career. Having learned from Maurice Cullen, his father-in-law, Pilot was able to master winter landscape painting just like his master.

Unliked the Group of Seven who sought to paint remote Canadian lands, Pilot was drawn to the way of life and human activity. A solitary man, he was content with his work while avoiding a precise artistic approach. Besides, he was not in favour of art theories and even critics. He will say :Art critics confuse everything. They speak a language that painters often don’t understand. All painters needed, he added, was a palette, a few brushes, and some tube of colours’’: quote from Impressionism in Canada, a journey of rediscovery by A. K. Prakash, referred at Chauvin p 45-46, page 632.
