C. Lewis (Charles Lewis) Hind

Born in 1862, C. Lewis Hind was a British journalist, writer, editor, art critic, and art historian. He worked as deputy editor of The Art Journal and the Pall Mall Budget, and in 1893 he helped found The Studio, an influential magazine devoted to fine and applied art.

He later edited The Academy and continued with it after its merger with Literature. Alongside his editorial work, he wrote widely on art and artists, including books on post-impressionism and other painters, as well as fiction and literary reminiscences.

That mix of criticism, reporting, and personal observation gives his writing its appeal today. He stands out as one of those versatile early-20th-century literary figures who helped shape how the public encountered both modern art and contemporary authors.
