David Smith: Cubes and Anarchy
The tour to the wexner center is amazing. I enjoy the narrow stairs and like the feeling when you ascend step by step the view becomes open suddenly. The work of David smith can basically be considered as cubism. I think he made some rewarding attempts by absorbing and learning from other artists such as Pablo Picasso. It's fascinating to realize that by using simple shapes like circle, rectangle triangle or trapezoid, you can create so many kind of beauty. I like the idea that he use geometric figure to show figure of body or brain. He uses additive and subtractive form a lot to create those amazing images. I can feel that he uses those simple arrangement to create balance and then he alway find something to break the balance. It inspires me a lot and I begin to think how to apply his ideas, images or sculptures to architecture, even though some of those works are too hard to build in real word as a building. Though this experience, I decide to go to wexner center as often as I can.
