Description
David Smith Phaidon Focus by Joan Pachner A comprehensive overview of the life and work of American sculptor David Smith, this book explores his innovative approach to metal sculpture and its impact on modern art. Smith's use of welding techniques enabled him to create remarkably balanced compositions that seem to draw in space. In addition to his sculpture practice, the book also examines Smith's lesser-known pursuits as a draftsman, writer, and photographer. This dual perspective provides a nuanced understanding of an artist who was as much a pioneer of abstract expressionism as he was a master of industrial processes. With 146 pages of detailed illustrations and commentary, this Phaidon Focus title is a valuable resource for anyone interested in modern American art or the life and work of David Smith.
