Thats the Tony Smith you know, momumental, imposing, imperial, butch, steel- not nessc. isolating, but almost.
Drawings
This, soft, sensual, with the small scale and curving lines, betrays and by betrayings adds to his rep-
done early, 54/55/56- not often shown-something there that is missing from his other works.

another thot- his and caros reps have gone done hill of late, but with two big ny retrospectives, one for these drawings and the other for late nudes and photos is it reviving.

another thot- the nudes were based on a contest he had at (harvard/yale?) about who could sleep with the most students, the contest was done in the late 50s/early 60s- they are only being shown b/c he is dead, and the works themselves. w/o heads, concentrating on genitals and breasts, and ugly.

hmmm ?
