Work Creator notes (display):
American sculptor. Born in Indiana, Smith spent time assembling metal parts in a factory after leaving school, which gave him a strong socialist conviction and a feeling for industrial materials. He came to New York in 1926 and studying at the Art Students' League became interested in abstraction and met other modernists through John Graham (18811961). Impressed by Julio González's welded sculpture he began to concentrate on sculpture in 1935, experimenting with Cubist and Constructivist ideas. By 1940 he was becoming a major critical success. Around 1945 he moved away from smaller-scale pieces to sculpture with a very private symbolism, similar to that being developed by the emerging Abstract Expressionists to whom he was soon seen to be allied. In the 1950s he developed from rod and wire 'drawings-in-space', such as Australia (1951; New York, MoMa), to a more monumental style with more concentration on abstract formal arrangement, exemplified by his final works, the Cubi series of 19615: Cubi XIX (1964; London, Tate). http://www.groveart… accessed 2008-06-16>
