About the Item

For David Smith, America's greatest sculptor of the twentieth century, there is little difference between drawing, painting, and sculpture. He easily moved from one medium to the next and indeed one subject to the next, such that a drawing could be a unique object in its own right or a sculpture could in turn be an inspiration for a drawing. Smith was an artist of the outdoors; his work bears the mark of his surroundings. Black lines on white paper can suggest natural elements like sticks in a snow-covered field, or even less empirical and rather conceptual renderings of his sculpture imagined within the same snow-covered field. This oil on canvas painting is signed with the Greek letters "Delta Sigma" lower left and dated 6/8/63 verso. Constellations David Smith, American (1903–1965) Date: 1963 Tempera on Canvas, signed "Delta Sigma" and dated verso Size: 30 x 36 in. (76.2 x 91.44 cm)
