 | | David Smith was a Renaissance man: brash sculptor, audacious painter, passionate lecturer. | | | Smith masterfully traverses this realm between dimensions: The white shapes left by his stencils fill a 17-inch spray drawing with voluminous geometries that become the soaring struts and wedges of a 16-foot brushed-steel sculpture. | | | Smith's insight into European modernism, his grasp of the long traditions from which it emerged, and his blue-collar American ethos combined to bring forth an alchemy of metal and paint. |

| | Guggenheim Museum - Exhibitions - David Smith: A Centennial - Overview |
| | In the 1950s, as he streamlined his aesthetic and his sculptures became more abstract, Smith continued to assert that his sculpture was a pure expression of his identity. | | | Organized on the 100th anniversary of the artist’s birth, David Smith: A Centennial presents over 120 of his greatest sculptures, as well as a selection of his drawings and sketchbooks, from his entire 33-year career as a sculptor. | | | This collage aesthetic, combined with the influence of Surrealism, led Smith, like his contemporaries in the world of painting, to formulate a new mode of expressionism amid the turbulent context of the World War II and its aftermath. |

| | Smith, born in Decatur, Ind., in 1906, moved in 1926 to New York, where he befriended artists disenchanted with what seemed to them the static and provincial nature of American art. | | | In a 1996 essay titled "David Smith in Protest," art critic Dore Ashton writes about the late 1930s, "Almost the entire public press was patriotically incensed by the paintings and sculptures occasionally exhibited in America by the pioneers of modernism, among them Matisse, Picasso, and Brancusi. | | | Smith wrote poemlike texts to accompany the medals and further refine his intentions. |

| | He was a friend of many of the painters in the abstract expressionist movement, and his work is often thought of as a three-dimensional equivalent to the monumentality and forceful, gestural style that characterizes the art of that group. | | | Smith's technical skills at steelworking and his mastery of different assembly methods had a profound impact upon his art. | | | Smith began his Zig series in 1961 as a new departure in his geometric compositions, one in which the structures tended to become more expressly articulated than before. |

| | Art in America: David Smith: toward volume |
| | As is well known, Smith started out as a painter and remained psychologically allied with painters of his generation, rather than with other sculptors. | | | Although the development of David Smith's sculpture is a subject that has been exhaustively researched, a recent exhibition at the National Academy of Design (the last of five American venues) examined his work from an unusual point of view. | | | Because Smith had already made his first openwork welded-steel constructions before leaving for Europe and was certainly the first American to do so, his subsequent turn to a fairly traditional form of cast relief can seem like a temporary retreat from the modernist ethos that was to underlie his best later work. |

| | Smith's interest in freestanding sculpture dates from the early 1930s, when he first saw illustrations of the welded metal sculpture of Pablo Picasso and another Spanish sculptor, Julio González. | | | Smith's sculpture grew out of his early abstract paintings of urban scenes, which were reminiscent of the work of his friend Stuart Davis. | | | Smith was never trained as a sculptor, but he learned to work with metal in 1925, when he was briefly employed as a riveter at the Studebaker automobile plant in South Bend, Indiana. |

| | Smith also possessed a love for landscape and Surrealist lyricism that brought a vibrantly poetic linear element to the overt Cubist solidity of his art. | | | Smith’s genius for balancing void and solid, form and content, crude material and poetic spirit is the hallmark of his Cubi masterpieces. | | | The sculptor created one of the most consistently confident and individualistic bodies of work from the mid-century, establishing a new kind of sculptural invention that used innovative techniques and material to express a fusion of abstraction and figuration. |

| | Sculptor lectures on brilliant art of college dropout - Feature |
| | "Gradually," Stevens quoted Smith as saying, "the canvas became the base and the painting the sculpture." The final chapter in the evolution of Smith's artistic style was the combination of metal sculpture with installation art. | | | Meanwhile, Peter Stevens describes a sense of unity within the work of Smith in his lecture, "David Smith: a Modern Vision of Unity." Stevens, an artist, sculptor and printmaker from New York City, spent Thursday night explaining the life, work and themes behind modernist sculptor Smith. | | | And though there is little similarity between Smith's works, he said, all the pieces are unified by the fact that they were created by the same artist. |
