David Smith Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

American, 1906-1965
British landscape artist David Smith was born in Essex in 1949. David has been a professional artist since 1976 and has since established himself as one of the UK’s leading landscape artists. David’s passion for the countryside is more than evident, his traditional approach along with eye catching detail gives a truly naturalistic feel to his paintings. It’s easy to immerse yourself in one of David’s works and feel the landscape as if you were strolling along the river bank on a beautiful summer’s day. Over the years, David’s paintings have sold to private and corporate clients around the world, especially in the America where he’s held many successful exhibitions. David Smith is the father of successful landscape artist Michael James Smith.

NYC Watercolor Drawing American Modern 20th Century Modernism Mid-Century WPA. David Fredenthal (1914-1958) "View of New York from New Jersey,"7 x 10 inches. Watercolor on Paper, c. 1948. Signed lower right. David Fredenthal (1914 - 1958) was one ot America's most respected watercolor artists. He was famous for his bold, intensely vigorous and complex paintings and drawings that expressed his deep feeling for excitement with life and living. He was a draftsman with seemingly a special gift for catching anything, physically and emotionally on the spot, and he never went anywhere without three or four loaded pens and a sketchbook in his pocket. As part of the WPA project he executed a number of murals including the Sports Pavilion on the Heinz Building of the New York World's Fair 1939. Some of his fresco and mural techniques were inspired by his friendship with Diego Rivera who had admired and encouraged him in the early 1930's. After he won a traveling scholarship to Europe from The Museum of Modern Art at age 19, he was the recipient of two Guggenheim grants in Painting. He had his first solo exhibition at the Downtown Gallery in New York in 1937 at age 23, and many others after that including the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1947. Because of Fredenthal's prodigious drawing gifts, he was chosen by Erskine Caldwell to illustrate his novel "Tobacco Road...
