SMITH, Maurice K., 1926-
'I'conoclast (Painting)
As well as meaning a destroyer of religious
images or sacred images, the word
“iconoclast” can be used to describe a person
who contravenes established or traditional
principles and laws.
A champion of vernacular design in
architecture who has lived in Massachusetts
since 1958, Maurice Smith has been described
as “too radical for [New Zealand’s] conservative
establishment” by his former colleague Tony
Watkins.
