Arthur Hall Smith (1929-2013) "Male Nude (Neil Meitzler)" MCM watercolor on paper, signed and dated lower right.
Smith grew up in Norfolk, Virginia where he received his first drawing instruction at an early age from his father, who was a naval architect. He studied at Illinois Wesleyan University, where he obtained a BFA. He received a Fulbright Fellowship upon graduation and went to Paris to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, École du Louvre, and the Institute d'Art et Archeologie. While in Paris, he also studied privately with Stanley William Hayter. He did graduate study at the University of Washington and also privately studied with Mark Tobey, a time in which he would have known Neil Mietzler (1930-2009). In 1961, he had a ten-year retrospective at the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
Provenance: from the estate of Neil Meitzler, 2024.
Smith is held in the collections of the National Gallery of Art (Corcoran Collection), Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Phillips Collection, Seattle Art Museum, Delaware Art Museum, Reading Public Museum, and the Freedman Art Gallery, Albright College, Reading, PA, to name a few.
