Smith, David (Roland) (sh)




born March 9, 1906, Decatur, Ind., U.S.
died May 23, 1965, Albany, N.Y.

U.S. sculptor.

He learned to work with metal while employed at an automobile plant. In 1926 he went to New York City and took various Jobs while studying painting at the Art Students League. His sculptures grew out of his abstract paintings, to which he attached so many bits of wood, metal, and found objects that they became virtual bases for sculptural superstructures. He became the first U.S. artist to make welded metal sculpture. In 1940 he moved to Bolton Landing, N.Y., and there made his large yet seemingly weightless metal sculptures until his death in a car crash. His abstract biomorphic and geometric forms are remarkable for their erratic inventiveness, stylistic diversity, and high aesthetic quality. His work greatly influenced Minimalist sculpture in the 1960s.
