Abstract

Smith, an artist who in the search for a personal expression moved aside from the thematic hierarchy imposed by the Academy of Painting. Smith focused his work primarily on two genres: landscape and caricature. However, his works has been scarcely studied, with no record of his work. We propose under the study “Antonio Smith, History of the landscape en Chile?” To catalogue his work the methodology used considers formal aspects like origin y publications related to Smith’s work, applying standards implemented by the Center of Documentation of Properties and Investments. This work seeks to generate specialized and concise information updating the legacy of Smith.
