Lot Essay

Smith spent the majority of the 1930s painting the landscape of the South of France. He toured extensively between Arles and Aix-en-Provence by car, settling briefly at Cagnes-sur-Mer, a coastal town between Antibes and Nice during 1932-33. The majority of the remainder of the decade was spent in and around Aix-en-Provence, an area of landscape that now inspired him as much as Cornwall had done in 1920.
