David Smith

Born in Decatur, Indiana on March 9, 1906, Smith grew up in Paulding, Ohio, where his father Harvey ran the Paulding Telephone Company and mother Golda taught school. He studied at Ohio University and the University of Notre Dome, but dropped out to become a welder on an automobile production line in South Bend, Indiana. He joined the Art Students League of New York in 1927. There, he discovered the works of Picasso, Mondrian, Kandinsky, and the Russian Constructivists, and became friends with Arshile Gorky, Willem de Kooning, Jan Matulka, and Jackson Pollock. Smith was profoundly influenced by the welded sculptures of Julio Gonzalez and of Picasso, he then started devoting himself entirely to metal sculptures, constructing compostions from steel and "found" scrap metals. However in the 50's Smith worked on a larger scale than ever before constucting huge objects of steel.

David Altmejd

David Altmejd (1974-) was born in Montreal, Canada where he obtained his bachelor's degree in art. He went on to study at Columbia University in New York where he received his MFA in 2001. He has been of part many prestigious solo and group exhibitions even as a relatively young artist. Most of his work is easily recognizable by the obscure sculptures containing the human form, sometimes in the form of a werewolf. His forms are broken up by mirrors or other random materials but most commonly fractured objects protruding in many directions. The werewolf figure is now associated by some people to be a type of emblem for Altmejd. Although seemingly grotesque, David Altmejd claims that his sculptures are open ended narratives full of symbolic potential.
