#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."
