Henry Pember Smith Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, b. 1854 - d. 1907

(b Waterford, Connecticut 1854; d Asbury Park, New Jersey 1907) American painter. Henry Pember Smith is known for his highly realistic ocean and landscape views. Little is known about Smith’s early years, and it has been assumed that he was a self-taught painter. He began to exhibit in 1877 at the National Academy of Design, and continued to show his work there until 1896. He studied the Old Masters throughout Europe which is evident in his reliance on realism. He also exhibited at the Brooklyn Art Club; the Boston Art Club; the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art; and the Art Institute in Chicago.

CONTACT US SKU#: 115005 US Shipping $75 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: A specialist in marine and landscape views, Henry Pember Smith was born in Waterford, Connecticut in 1854. Little is known about his early training or his career before 1877, when he set up a studio in New York City. It is generally assumed that he was self- taught. From 1877 on, Smith exhibited regularly at the National Academy of Design, although he never became a member. Smith also exhibited at the American Watercolor Society and the Artists' Fund.His landscapes are his best known works, particularly those of New England, Spain, Italy, England, New York State, and France. These also indicate his love of travel and some of his best known works are Venetian scenes. Working primarily in oils and watercolors, and using a tighter technique than the emerging impressionists of his time, Smith was a true realist.Around 1901, Smith moved to Asbury Park, New Jersey to seek relief from ill health and rheumatism. He died there in October, 1907.
