From today's perspective, Leon Polk Smith's artistic position can
be understood as a "missing link" in art history. His work connects
the European avant-garde with the American abstraction of the
1940s/1950s via references to the paintings of Piet Mondrian.
Smith's pioneering role in the Hard-Edge style and his Shaped
Canvases are in turn achievements that spread from the US to
Europe. With his unique Constellations, Smith became known beyond
the borders of the US. In recent years, his work has gained new
visibility thanks to numerous exhibitions in the US. The solo show
at Museum Haus Konstruktiv in Zurich and the accompanying
publication are intended to contribute to the long overdue new
reception in Europe.
