This comprehensive sourcebook is destined to become a lasting and
definitive resource on the art and aesthetic philosophy of the
American artist David Smith (1906-1965). A pioneer of
twentieth-century modernism, Smith was renowned for the expansive
formal and conceptual ambitions of his broadly diverse and
inventive welded-steel abstractions. His groundbreaking
achievements drew freely on cubism, surrealism, and constructivism,
profoundly influencing later movements such as minimalism and
environmental art. By radically challenging older conventions of
monolithic figuration and refuting arbitrary distinctions between
painters and sculptors, Smith asserted sculpture's equal role in
advancing modern art. A compilation of Smith's poems, sketchbook
notes, essays, lectures, letters to the editor, reviews, and
interviews, these previously unpublished texts underscore the
varied ways in which his writing functioned as a means to examine
and articulate his private identity and to promote the social
ideals that made him a key participant in contemporary discourses
surrounding modernism, art and politics, and sculptural aesthetics.
All the documents in David Smith: Collected Writings, Lectures, and
Interviews have been newly corrected against the original
manuscripts, typescripts, and audiotapes. Each text in this
collection is annotated with historical and contextual information
that reflects Smith's own process of continually reviewing and
revising his writings in response to his evolving aspirations as a
visual artist.
