Author Description

"Few artists represent contemporary American painting like David R. Smyth does. His optimistic view of the world lets him create a great oeuvre, a unique universe of elaborate paintings, sculptures and drawings which stand for a new and joyful approach to the perception and experience of art. This book shows more than 700 samples of his work from his beginnings in the sixties up to 2000, along with texts by Lily Wei, Marc Le Bot and Dieter Bogner. David R. Smyth, a US citizen, lives and works in New York and Europe on an equal basis."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
