In the summer of 2014, twenty one artworks by George Smart were included in Tate Britain's "British Folk Art" exhibition,[5] the first time his work had been gathered together in a major gallery and in such quantity. These included all the examples of his work owned by the Tunbridge Wells Museum, Kent.[6] Until recently he has mostly been the subject of a few paragraphs in Folk art compendiums,[7] but is now recognised as one of the key figures within the history of English Folk Art.[8] Unusually for a Folk Artist, he is the known creator of over 70 works[9] The first monograph on Smart called, George Smart: The Tailor of Frant, Artist in Cloth & Velvet Figures was published in the UK in March 2016. A website devoted to the life and work of George Smart, The Tailor of Frant is now available here: georgesmartfrant.wordpress.com[10] References1. ^ New Guide for Tunbridge Wells, by John Colbran and edited by James Phippen, published by John Colbran, Tunbridge Wells in 1840; retrieved 11 May 2015 {{DEFAULTSORT:Smart, George}}2. ^Professor of Peculiar Art, a brief account of George Smart, Tailor of Frant, Margaret Gill, Tunbridge Wells Museum, pamphlet, 1987 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.comptonverney.org.uk/|title=Compton Verney - Compton Verney - A Fantastic Day Out|work=comptonverney.org.uk}} 4. ^George Smart: Cat Manufacturer – Artist in Cloth and Velvet Figures, by Steven Hobbs, published 18 May 2014; retrieved 11 May 2015 5. ^Why did it take so long to recognise the worth of British folk art?, by Andrew Lambirth, in the Spectator, published 2 August 2014; retrieved 30 April 2015 6. ^Artworks from Tunbridge Wells Museum & Art Gallery have been loaned to Tate Britain, by Annabel Rusbridge-Thomas on Kent Online, published 18 July 2014; retrieved 5 May 2015 7. ^British Folk Art, James Ayres, Barrie & Jenkins, 1977 8. ^Amongst these key figures are George Smart the tailor of Frant, by Art & Collections International, retrieved 11 May 2015 9. ^George Smart: The Tailor of Frant, Artist in Cloth & Velvet Figures, page 123, Jonathan Christie, Unicorn Press, 2016. 10. ^George Smart Frant website; retrieved 29 April 2016 4 : English artists|Tailors|1774 births|1846 deaths |
