DS 1958

David Smith's "DS" from 1958 is a striking example of his abstract work, featuring a composition of bold lines and shapes rendered in graphite. The gestural marks on the sheet of paper suggest a sense of dynamism and energy, characteristic of Smith's explorations of form and space. The sketch's simplicity and fluidity speak to the artist's innovative approach to abstract art, further emphasizing his contribution to the development of 20th-century sculpture.
