Raphael Rubinstein post about artist Kimber Smith. Rubenstein writes "Smith emerged as an artist not in his native U.S. but in France, where he lived for most of the 1950s and 1960s. A close friend of Shirley Jaffe and Sam Francis … he was taken with the spontaneous energy of Abstract Expressionism, but the alphabet of shapes he developed, his highly personal geometric sign system, took him into new and different territory."
