John Moran AuctioneersJack Wilkinson Smith (1873 - 1949) High Sierras Mountain Lake Oil on Board. Signed on lower left. An impressionist painter of western landscapes, Jack Wilkinson Smith was born in Paterson, New Jersey. He had early exposure to artistic expression because his father was an artist who did decorative work on the Capitol Building in Albany, New York. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and apprenticed to George Gardner Symons, who later became a well-known landscape painter in California. In 1906, he settled in Alhambra, California, and his studio home was in the area called "Artists Alley," where his neighbors included artists Frank Tenney Johnson, Eli Harvey, and in the summers, Norman Rockwell. Smith was a primary organizer of the Biltmore Salon, where works by local artists were exhibited and sold. He is renowned for his colorful High Sierra mountain views, missions, and marine paintings, and is considered one of California's most important painters. He had many prestigious affiliations including the Salmagundi Club of New York, Academy of Western Painters, and the California Art Club.

He later worked as a commercial artist in Lexington, Kentucky and went on to become a staff artist with the Cincinnati Enquirer.
