George Henry Clements was an American artist who was best known for the watercolor paintings he made in an impressionist style. Critics said his work was characterized by "exact observation" and "vivid, brief, suggestive" treatment of his subjects. Working outdoors, often while cruising on a custom-made sailboat, he chose sea and coastal scenes as his most frequent subjects. He had a folklorist's appreciation of Louisiana's Creole culture and was a supporter of civil rights for the Black communities that were oppressed by Jim Crow laws in that state.
