Jack Smith
Genres: Printing, Painting, Art
Jack Smith is one of those unsung figures in British art whose artistic career represents something like a synecdoche of art's development over the course of the Twentieth Century.
From his early realist dabblings to formal Kandinskian exercises and eventually to his recent flatly graphic work, Smith's is the kind of career characterised by a pleasing sense of progression.
Like Kandinsky (and indeed many others) Smith sees music as the pinnacle of creative expression and one sees his work become increasingly abstract as a means of escaping the constraints of representation.
