Daniel J. Robbins (pseudonyms, Jeremiah Drummer and George Gregory Dobbs;[1] January 15, 1932 – January 14, 1995) was an American art historian, art critic, and curator, who specialized in avant-garde 20th-century art and helped encourage the study of it. Robbins' area of scholarship was on the theoretical and philosophical origins of Cubism.[1] His writings centered on the importance of artists such as Albert Gleizes, Jean Metzinger, Henri Le Fauconnier and Jacques Villon.[2][3] He was a specialist in early Modernism, writing on Salon Cubists (the Section d'Or group) and championed contemporaries such as Louise Bourgeois and the Color Field painters.[4] Art historian Peter Brooke referred to Robbins as "the great pioneer of the broader history of Cubism".[5]
