David Roland Smith (1906 - 1965)

David Roland Smith

David Roland Smith is an American sculptor and expressionist painter.

Smith became known as the creator of large-scale steel geometric sculptures in an abstract style inspired by the works of Picasso.

But Smith is also a prolific painter-drawer; he drew all his life, making hundreds of drawings a year. His subjects included various figures and landscapes, a series of nudes, and he also drew almost calligraphic signs with egg yolk, Chinese ink and brushes.
