Collier Twentyman Smithers

Collier Twentyman Smithers (1867 – 7 December 1943) was a portrait, figure and rustic painter. He was born in Buenos Aires, the son of Arthur Edward Smithers, a banker.

In 1892 Smithers was living at 5 Primrose Hill Studios off Fitzroy Road, north London. This may account for his stylistic similarity to John William Waterhouse, who also lived at Primrose Hill Studios.

From 1892 to 1936 he exhibited at the Royal Academy; the Royal Society of British Artists, Birmingham; Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool; Manchester City Art Gallery; New Gallery; and the Royal Hibernian Academy and his work received popular reviews. He was a Freeman of the City of London, being admitted to the Worshipful Company of Turners in 1893.

He died in 1943 at 36 Roland Gardens, London.

gollark: That seems basically in accordance with the bodily autonomy thing.
gollark: If you're going to say "you technically can do whatever you want with your own body, but we're going to practically ban large classes of things" then that can absolutely generalize to abortion or anything else.
gollark: I assumed you meant "bodily autonomy", i.e. you own your body and get to decide what happens to it, based on you saying something about thinking the average person should support ownership of their own body.
gollark: "Ownership of your body ≠ Ownership of abortion drugs or the right to have a doctor do abortions."
gollark: That could equally apply to abortions though!
