Less well known is the fact that he was also an architect and a painter--a true Renaissance man. In the mid-1930s he studied drawing  painting  and anatomy at the Arts Student League in New York  later moving to Chicago  where he took courses in architecture and design at the New Bauhaus. Subsequent work with Frank Lloyd Wright led him to establish his own architectural firm in the 40s. Becoming disheartened with the role of architect  he returned to painting  and in the late 50s found his ultimate calling in sculpture. This volume provides the first complete overview of the career of this unique figure in the postwar American artistic vanguard. Published in conjunction with a 1998 exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art  New York  this book presents Smiths life and work in all mediums; thoughtful  critical essays; an illustrated chronology; a section of writings  interviews  and letters by Smith  his family  and his friends; and a selected bibliography and exhibition history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67945426878517,"sku":"ByrdShop_0870700723","price":93.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tony-smith-architect-painter-sculptor-9780870700729","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
