Frank Anthony Smith (American, 1939 - )
A Utah native, Smith taught at the University of Utah from 1966 to 2001 as a member of the painting and drawing faculty. A retrospective of his work "Inner Realities, Outer Illusions" was held at the Utah Museum of Fine Art in 2005. This work puts contemporary realism though the paces - of surrealism, illusionism, trompe l'oeil, and who knows quite what else -- in a spirited and painterly fashion. Bad lumber. Good painting.
