David Smith@Whitney

            David Smith at Whitney displays many sculptures involving cubes and anarchy. In which he involves many geometric shapes that make his sculpting look very balanced. His composition is very skilled and creative. I like how he uses his imagination. He also has a Hudson River Landscape in which his design is very abstract. He knows how to develop something not seen in other places he, creates new things, and sees outside of the box. He sees more to something so simple. David Smith is an amazing sculptor.

               He puts different things together and creates something new. It amazes me because it’s hard for me to come up with something out of nothing. And even though I am not a professional artist, I can only imagine these things coming natural to him. That’s when you know you’re a true professional, when things, ideas, creations just come naturally to you.  I believe there is only so much you can know. But if you apply what you know and what you learned, great art comes out of it.

            His work displayed at the Whitney museum was phenomenal. I believe art is what you make it. There are no wrongs or rights. It is what it is, it is what you make it. Whether it’ s a standing stick or a collage, the meaning and outlook on that image and what it means to you, can create a true masterpiece, and later can makes others see what you see. That is Art.
