Artists: David Smith

David Smith was the quintessential all-American Renaissance man--a gifted sculptor, writer and lover of all things appealing to the mind and senses. His art reflects an understanding of blacksmithing and welding--crafts which are, for many, representative of a distinctly American art form. Examples of his work on-line can be found at:

Artists: Louise Nevelson

Nevelson's art reflects her belief that you can make what you want out of life. In her case, that involved integrating a multitude of  "found" objects into her creations. Despite personal and professional struggles, she tried to maintain a royal style. For more information, check out the Art in Context website below:
