I have a piece of original art which I believe was done by Fielding Kimball Smith 1900-1974, and great nephew of the prophet Joseph Smith. I would like to verify that Fielding Kimball Smith attended the Commercial Art School of Chicago in 1919. Help?!?

Fielding was the son of Joseph Fielding Smith & Alice Kimball.

    I would suggest contacting the Church History Library and archives

    Here is what I find from current Church History Department public information:

    https://history.churchofjesuschrist.org/chd/individual/fielding-kimball-smith-1900

    I tried searching Journal History at:

    https://catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org/record/3ffad93a-5200-4a7e-9d68-2f4e42a13188/0?view=browse

    but came up with nothing so far.

    Here is some history about Commercial Art School of Chicago - it is now a closed - I wonder what happened to its student archives over the years?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois_Institute_of_Art_%E2%80%93_Chicago
    https://www.familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/124749305?cid=mem_copy

    mentions Royal Academy of Art London.
