Arthur Reginald Smith
United Kingdom
Arthur Reginald Smith is an United Kingdom American Impressionism artist. 7 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Arthur Reginald Smith spent his life drawing animals, not for science journals but because he found their odd shapes hilarious. His watercolors look like a cartoonist’s sketches—big beaks, tiny legs, all painted in one flat wash with a few confident lines. Start with *Kiwi*: the bird’s stumpy body and long beak look like a kid’s doodle, but Smith made it feel alive with nothing but wet blue paper and a steady hand.
