[edit]

This reference: http://www.sustainability.murdoch.edu.au/publications/amhope/smith.html (a transcript of a talk Smith gave at a Scince and Society conference (date?)) - suggests that 'Place, Taste and Tradition' was first published in 1945.

The text of the talk concerns his proposal that the term 'formalesque' should be used to replace the now anachronistic use of the term 'modern' to describe the artistic period beginning in the 1890s and which dominated untilt the 1950's.

Future plan...

[edit]

Sometime it might make sense to create pages for a couple of other fairly notable artistic figures similarly named and occasionally confused (complete with disambiguation or 'not to be confused with...' links) - I'm thinking for example of Bernhard Smith (1820-1885), British->Australian sculptor and painter (qv http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/smith-bernhard-4599), and Molly Bernhard-Smith, British art dealer (qv http://stnicholasatwade.org.uk/molly.html). Note that these two are both spelled Bernhard Smith, and that in Molly's case it is a hyphenated surname. I might do it when I get time, but for the moment I'm just throwing this out there.
