Clark Ashton Smith
Clark Ashton Smith (
January 13,
1893 -
August 14,
1961), while best known today for his association with
H.P. Lovecraft and the
Cthulhu Mythos, he is also thought of by many as being a unique master of
fantasy,
horror, and
science fiction. While Smith thought of himself primarily as a
poet and wrote over 700 poems and prose poems, he is better known today for his short stories. Clark Ashton Smith was also a self-taught artist whose paintings, drawings, and sculptures reflect the fantastic worlds of his fiction.
