Customer Reviews

Accessible art, fine writing

I opened this book as an uninformed amateur of modern art having no idea who David Smith was. I chose it because I had read other material by Karen Wilkin and found her insights interesting. That continued to be the case here and in addition I found David Smith's sculpture immediately compelling. Smith's whole career is covered, not in great depth, but thoroughly. This book is a good value.
