One of the pre-eminent American sculptors of the twentieth century, Smith was a powerful innovator. He introduced the industrial process of welding, and was able to manipulate metal into extraordinarily imaginative and varied compositions, using it literally to "draw in space." The author sheds light on Smith's prolific output of drawing, sketching, writing and photography.
