ENGLEWOOD, NJ.- Art historian and conservationist Craig Hugh Smyth, 91, died of a heart attack. He was director of the Munich Central Collecting Point while he was a Lieutenant, United States Naval Reserve (USNR), Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archive (MFAA) Officer. At the end of World War II this institution received thousands of artworks and objects discovered by Allied Forces in various German repositories. Smyth and his colleagues worked to identify, care for, and restitute these works to their rightful owners. For his efforts to recover and restitute looted artworks during and after World War II, Smyth received the U.S. Army Commendation Medal, the Chevalier, French Legion of Honor, and the Netherlands Medal for Service to the States.
