His work connects the European avant-garde with American Abstract Expressionism via his transformations of Mondrian's legacy. Smith's pioneering role in the hard-edge style and his shaped canvases represent key developments in painting: departing from the rectangular canvas allowed Smith to conceive new interrelations between his two-color compositions and their spatial context. His \u003ci\u003eConstellations\u003c\/i\u003e series, created between 1967 and 1975, marks the high point of his career, and won him artistic acclaim beyond the US. \u003cbr\u003eAlongside early compositions from the 1940s and multipart shaped canvases, \u003ci\u003eLeon Polk Smith: Going Beyond Space\u003c\/i\u003e features collages, prints, reliefs and painted objects and proposes a new reception of Smith's decades-spanning oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 11.81 x 9.84 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 04, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42150851281031,"sku":"9783775754712","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/ca22771474403ea45a10201716c4ae95.webp?v=1733202768","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/leon-polk-smith-going-beyond-space-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
