Description
Summary:The New York Times reported that Smith considered Camelot (two renderings in this exhibit) his most elaborate production, "conjuring up a fairy-tale vision of the Middle Ages with parks, terraces, jousting fields and castles in colors that ranged from soft pastels to sumptuous gold" ("Oliver Smith, Set Designer"). [...]some of the artworks may require digital color correction to accurately display their original appearance. When the Museum of Dance in Saratoga Springs mounted its exhibit "American Ballet Theatre: Then and Now" at the time when Oliver Smith was inducted into the Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney Hall of Fame in July 2011, Sinisi also supplied giclée prints of a number of images, which are now in its permanent collection. BECAUSE HE'S JUST THAT GOOD.
