Tony Smith (sculptor)
Tony Smith (September 23, 1912 – December 26, 1980) was an American sculptor, visual artist, architectural designer, and a noted theorist on art. He is often cited as a pioneering figure in American Minimalist sculpture.
==Education==
Anthony Peter Smith, "Tony," was born in South Orange, New Jersey to a waterworks manufacturing family started by his grandfather and namesake, A. P. Smith. Tony contracted tuberculosis as a youth and his family constructed an isolation ward in the backyard in an effort to protect his fragile immune system. He was attended to by a nurse to maintain his health and tutors to keep up with his schoolwork. The medicine he was given came in little boxes which he used to form cardboard constructions and when he could, he visited the waterworks factory to marvel at the machines and fabrication processes. After the TB cleared up, Tony attended a Jesuit high school and spent two years at Georgetown University. He was disillusioned and felt no direction at Georgetown so he returned to New Jersey and opened a bookstore, worked at the family factory and attended evening courses at the Art Students League of New York. In 1937, he moved to Chicago to attend the New Bauhaus but again found himself disillusioned. The following year, Smith began working for Frank Lloyd Wright as an office clerk, a position that allowed the young designer to discover his own unique artistic sensibilities.
