#January 2, 1938
#OTD #RobertSmithson, American #Artist & #Photographer, is born.

He loved #Sculpture & helped found the #Land #Art #Movement.

He wrote,

"When a finished work of 20th-century sculpture is
Placed in an 18th-century #Garden,
It is #Absorbed by the #Ideal representation of the #Past,
Reinforcing #Political & #Social #Values that are no longer with us."
