Henry Holmes Smith

"The real interest for me is the way an artist passing through life the way an ant crosses a sidewalk, determined that the edge exists without knowing exactly where. The artist's harvest is those special energies that bring him to life as an artist; sustain him in lonely times; shelter him in times of recognition, when he most needs protection; provide regeneration when he senses loss of power, and help drive him across failures large or small."

"This show of works made between the mid-forties and mid-eighties...is largely, often exuberantly, abstract, even when it involves recognizable subjects. Other images are more expressionist: liquid light-show eruptions and cascading patterns in acid colors."

The New Yorker, October, 2016 From a review of an exhibition of Henry Holmes Smith's images at the Gitterman Gallery, New York City
