Tony Smith, local Sculptor

Tony Smith, 1946-1947 (Sitting behind a...chinese typewriter?) And in background...just guessing...Pollock Psychoanalysis paintings?

With Jackson Pollock and Barnett Newman 1951

With models/maquettes for "Bat Cave" 1969
Please visit this blog post from which I shamelessly took these images for a more in depth appreciation of Tony Smithhttp://mondo-blogo.blogspot.com/2011/12/tony-smith-kills-it.html
