"Robert S. Woodward's Hill Farm (26) is a very interesting landscape painted in the Berkshire hills. The Falll Fires (24) is especially captivating in its uncompromising veracity, its portraiture of a novel and beautiful motive with its foreground of ledges, farmyard, barns and farmhouse, perched on a slope which leads the eye down to a broad and sweet valley and the hills beyond it, diapered by cloud shadows and, as it were, sleeping in the sunshine."
"Robert Strong Woodward; whose habitat would appear to be western Massachusetts, has a remarkably able mountain picture called Hill Farm, panoramic without being grandiose."
