David Smith

David Smith produced metal sculptures that reminisced the styles of cubism and abstract expressionism painting. Smith would use large pieces of metal than weld them together forming magnificent sculptures. He intended that the sculptures would be polished and than he would burn some sort of pattern o using materials such as steel wool. When the light would hit the sculpture from every angle patterns would appear that resembled paintings from Pablo Picasso. I particularly like this one because of the way the light is reflecting off of each figure in a different form yet you can still see the patterns in all geometric shapes.
