Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
The sculpture i chose in the park is a pice called stinger by Tony Smith. The reason i don't like this piece is because i is so plain, its just a big black worm like square. Tony smith was originally an architect then started experimenting with sculpture in his fifties. Stinger was originally going to be called one gate, you can see where it would get that name from its one opening that looks like the opening to a fortress. But it was later decided to be called Stinger named after a cocktail that is very sweet but very strong. Tony was a leading sculptor in the 1960's and 1970's and was known as one of the pioneers of the American Minimal art movement. Tony worked with simple geometrical shapes creating drama with simple shapes. Researching on tony smith has given me more respect for the man and his work maybe not Stinger because i still think its pretty lame. But a few pieces of his i thought were very impressive and interesting are: Die, although it is just a big black cube it depicts a man in a circle in a square just like Leonardo Da Vinc's study of the human anatomy. Also a piece called Marjorie which is a 31 foot high sculpture that appears to be different shapes when you walk around and under it. So after doing a little research i no longer think Tony Smith is a joke for making something like Stinger, he will now forever be known to me as a revolutionary sculptor.
