Description
This comprehensive collection brings together David Smith's writings, lectures, and interviews for the first time. A pioneer of modernism, Smith was a key figure in shaping the course of 20th-century art, challenging traditional boundaries between painting and sculpture.
Through poems, sketchbook notes, essays, and letters to the editor, this compilation offers a unique insight into Smith's artistic philosophy and his role as a social commentator. The documents have been newly corrected against the original manuscripts, typescripts, and audiotapes, providing a detailed understanding of Smith's creative process.
With annotations that reflect Smith's ongoing engagement with his ideas, this collection provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in modern art, sculpture, and the intersection of politics and aesthetics. The result is a rich and nuanced portrait of an artist who continues to inspire and provoke today.
