David Smith

       David Smith Born on March 9, 1906 in Decatur, Indiana. He studied at the Art Students League of New York. He died on May 24, 1965 at the age of 59 years, in an accident tráficoBennington, Vermont.In 1933 he made his first sculpture in iron to look at photographs of Pablo Picasso and Julio Gonzalez.

        In World War II he worked at a locomotive factory where he began an interest in machinery and buildings.  It was a radical critic of violence and human greed as evidenced by many of his works.  Highlight their work called Cubi consisting of large blocks of metal on high pedestals.  Smith had discovered a way to wrap the emotion in classic containers balanced.  

        

         A new look at the work of the great American sculptor David Smith (1906-1965), cubes and anarchy offers new perspectives on participation throughout the artist's career with geometric shapes.

        The show at the Whitney Museum includes sculptures, drawings, paintings, and photographs.  Blue Construction, 1938. Sheet steel with Baked- enamel finish, 36 1/4 x 28 1/2 x 30 in.  (92.1 x 72.4 x 76.2 cm).  Which is a beautiful piece of art and one of my favorites for its composition of different geometric shapes with perfect harmony between the blue and black, which gives a clean style and delicate as a rigid material such as metal.
