Lawrence Beall Smith
American, 1909-1995
Throughout the following years, Smith's art figured prominently in most major exhibitions, including those of the prestigious National Academy. Besides his paintings and sculptures in stone, Lawrence Beall Smith was also a highly gifted lithographic artist and illustrator. In this latter category, he illustrated such fine books as Robin Hood (1954) and Tom Jones (1964). Today examples of his original lithographs, paintings and sculpture are included in the permanent collections of such major galleries as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, The Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, the University of Chicago, and the Library of Congress, Washington, DC. Children are a major theme in Smith's lithographic art. From 1940 to around 1970 he was commissioned many times by the Associated American Artists of New York for his delightful lithographs upon this subject.
