Biography
He served as the deputy editor of The Art Journal (1887–92) and the Pall Mall Budget. In 1893, he co-founded The Studio: An Illustrated Magazine of Fine and Applied Art. Three years later, Hind became the editor of The Academy and, after it merged with Literature, he continued with the editorship of The Academy and Literature, retiring in 1903. Hind then became a contributor to several magazines and newspapers including the Daily Chronicle, and wrote numerous articles on post-impressionism.
Eight colour photographic illustrations by Hind featured in Days with Velasquez (1906). His 1911 book The Post Impressionists was described by the Shirakaba group as "a most substantial book on the Post-Impressionists in English." After World War I, he compiled various anthologies and published several books on the art of landscape and continued with his art criticism. He interviewed Rockwell Kent on his Alaskan drawings in the June 1919 issue of International Studio.

Biographie
C. Lewis Hind est le rédacteur en chef adjoint de la prestigieuse revue The Art Journal de 1887 à 1892, puis du Pall Mail Budget pendant deux ans. En 1893, il participe activement à la fondation de la revue The Studio : An Illustrated Magazine of Fine and Applied Art (1893-1914), qui contribue à faire connaître dans le monde anglo-saxon les Impressionnistes, l’Art nouveau, Beardsley, les estampes japonaises ou encore la photographie pictorialiste.
En 1896, à l’âge de trente quatre ans, Hind prend les rênes de la revue The Academy, une revue de littérature fondée à Londres en 1869. En 1902, The Academy devient The Academy and Literature et Hind s’en occupe pendant encore un an avant de se retirer. Il contribue ensuite à plusieurs revues et journaux dont le Daily chronicle qui est à l’époque l’un des plus importants quotidiens britannique.
En 1910, il soutient l’exposition de Roger E. Fry « Manet and the Post-impressionnists » qui contribua à la reconnaissance internationale de Van Gogh et Gauguin en particulier. Dans un petit livre intitulé The Post Impressionnism publié l’année suivante, il écrit : « L’Expression, et non la beauté, est le but de l’art. La beauté survient. L’expression jaillit — elle doit jaillir. L’art, c’est n’est pas la beauté. C’est l’expression ; c’est toujours décoratif et émouvant ». Ce dernier ouvrage contribue à la diffusion internationale du concept de « Postimpressionnisme ».
Après la Première Guerre mondiale, Hind publie diverses anthologies et plusieurs ouvrages sur l’art du paysage.
