Artist Dennis Smith has a rare talent for capturing childhood innocence in bronze. There are several of his life-size outdoor works in downtown Salt Lake. This ensemble of a mother swirling her daughter is named Counterpoint. It was erected in 1979. In the same small square is a boy on his father’s shoulders. The sculptures are located across from the Capitol Theatre. The Italian Renaissance exterior of the 1913 historic landmark is as attractive as the recently renovated, 2,000 seat auditorium.
