The Visual Language of an Exceptional Artist
Rodney Smith, born in 1947 and died in 2016, studied at the University of Virginia and Yale University, among others with Walker Evans. His photography combines elegance, humor, formal rigor, and surreal image ideas. The official estate describes him as a photographer whose unretouched images in black and white and color thrive on balance, wit, and a subtle, often unexpected poetic tension.
