Harry Smith worked in a wide range of mediums and found inspiration everywhere he looked. From the early figurative works of his teenage years to his non-objective studies of the 1950s and his later complex systematic investigations Smith tracked his interest in magic, cosmology and esoterica in painting and drawing throughout his lifetime.
