5.0 out of 5 stars
I saw the show and NEED the book!,
This review is from: David Smith: A Centennial (Hardcover)
I just saw the show at the Guggenheim and was stunned by the clarity of Smith's vision and how it evolved. He changed the nature of modern sculpture, one work at a time...and gave new meaning to poise, frame, gesture, implication, and force. I looked at the book there and it was just too much to carry back on the plane, from NYC to Seattle, with all of the other books I picked up. So I am pleased to find it here, and for a great price and no shipping cost. I look forward to receiving it and being awed again and again.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: David Smith: A Centennial (Hardcover)
Here is an overwhelming book on an overwhelming artist. I was speechless when I saw the exhibit, and I remained so when I opened the catalogue. A definite must-have. The book is a comprehensive survey of Smith's career with an in-depth look at his series (especially notable is the uncompleted Cubi series, large-scale works which, due to their size, are rarely seen together and which constitute the apex of the artist's work).
High-quality reproductions (seldom the case with books dealing with sculpture), breakthrough texts...too bad you can't touch the works! |
