Richard Smith, CBE (1931-2016) was one of the most influential artists of his generation. Smith stood apart from the burgeoning Pop Art movement of the 1960s by melding the slick and vibrant imagery found in the commercial landscape with an expansive abstract painting language very much his own. He gained critical acclaim for extending the boundaries of painting into three dimensions, creating sculpturally shaped canvases with a monumental presence.
The series of etching and aquatint prints, 'Warp and Weft,' is part of a collection created with master printers Hugh Stoneman and Alan Cox in Penzance, Cornwall, in 1997. The prints present a strong link with the untitled compositions produced by Smith at the time and his interest in the hidden grid-like warp and weft of a canvas, further accented by his interwoven constructions.
Richard Smith is represented in public collections including The British Museum, Tate, Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
