Leon de Smet
1881 - 1966, Belgian
See the art by this Artist »
Leon de Smet was born in Gent (Belgium) in 1881 where he received his artistic education at the Academy of Fine Arts under Jean Delvin. From the beginning he painted in an impressionistic way strongly influenced by Emile Claus who introduced him to luministic impressionism. In 1914 he moved to London where almost immediately he started a widely excepted career. He was involved in portraiture of many important artistic members of the London society in which he painted for example famous dramatist George Bernard Shaw.

Leon de Smet was also influenced by the modern movement of expressionism that was represented by his brother Gustave de Smet (1877-1943). He was a member of the expressionist group ‘In Laethem’ and also a member of the circle of ‘Vie et Lumière’ with Theo Van Rysselberghe. In the years up until 1920 his style was clearly divisionistic in which he mingled in soft strokes of pastel-like pallets. In that time his interiors with figures were intimate and dreamlike. He continued his career in his primary style of the Impressionism, nevertheless the divisionistic touch faded away and was replaced by more vivid colours, and less vague figures. Among his favorite subjects we can find landscapes, figures and still lifes. He often painted his first and second wives Maria and Claire and their family.
