Description: In his defining large-scale, abstract style in the 1950s, Smith would arrange his work in the landscape around his home and studio. Periodically, he took sculptures to Lake George, as if on a holiday. Vertical, off-kilter, extending from foot- or leglike supports, the sculptures are undeniably humanlike. Smith’s engagement with place in Upstate New York, meant involvement with a community. An exhibition at the Hyde Collection, in Glen Falls, New York—about 20 miles from Smith’s residence—is the first to focus on how music and dance influenced his maturation. In the process, it complicates the cliché, indelibly attached to Smith’s generation, of the artist as isolated genius. “Songs of the Horizon” highlights discoveries of the mid-1940s leading to the artist’s breakthrough from figuration into abstraction.
