"Gordon Smith was born in 1919 in England. He arrived in Winnipeg at the age of fifteen and first studied art there with Le Moine Fitzgerald. He later moved to Vancouver and graduated from the Vancouver School of Art at the end of the war. He joined staff in 1946 and in 1957 moved to the Fine Art Department of the University of British Columbia. In his work of the fifties he is concerned to recreate an actual experience or mood rather than, like Shadbolt, to create a new multi-leveled reality."
