Description
Leon Polk Smith: A Pioneer of Minimalist Art Considered one of the founders of the hard-edge style of Minimalist art, Leon Polk Smith was a key figure in the late 1950s and early 1960s. His distinctive shaped canvas series, including 'Correspondences' and 'Constellations', showcased vibrant, two-coloured shapes defined by precise but often irregular contours. Smith's work was influenced by Native American artistic traditions and featured non-standard shapes, such as round canvases. A retrospective of his work was organized by The Brooklyn Museum in 1996, highlighting the significance of his contributions to Modernist art. This book is published on the occasion of an exhibition at Lisson Gallery, New York. Leon Polk Smith's work can be found in numerous public and private collections worldwide, including major institutions like the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and The Museum of Modern Art.
