Stan Smith (1929-2001) was trained at St Albans School of Art and the Royal College of Art and pursued a distinguished career as painter, author and teacher. His long teaching career included periods at the London College of Printing and the Royal College of Art and culminated in 1986 in the headship of the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art at Oxford where he had taught since 1979.
