Clark Ashton Smith (
January 13,
1893 -
August 14,
1961), while best known today for his association with
H.P. Lovecraft and the
Cthulhu Mythos, stands on his own as 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.
