Summary: David Smith, the innovative and masterly twentieth-century sculptor, strove to create works of art that could be viewed "without reverence or awe" because they were, in his words, "natural ... statements of peaceful pursuit." Intrinsic to this hope was a conviction that his monumental sculpture belonged in the elements, with sky and earth as its visible reference points. The aim of both book and exhibition has been to recapture the experience of viewing Smith's work during his lifetime, when it was deployed with care and exuberance in ever-changing arrangements in his fields at Bolton Landing in the Adirondacks.
