Gallery Talk: Ed Smith

Exhibit: Though Much is Taken, Much Abides... Recorded on May 28, 2015. Ed Smith's drawings and bronze sculptures are primarily involved with the mythic and heroic aspects of the Artist and man, reminding the viewer how to retain humanity in a world where oftentimes the wrong individuals are idealized. Traditionally, bronze figures served to commemorate the past, present and future, and prompted viewers to remember great deeds, great men or actions; they embodied the dreams and hopes of men, cities, states and countries. Smith's sculptures attempt to bring into focus what we overlook as well as to create a sense of historical continuity with the great art of the past. https://www.pct.edu/events/2015/05/28/ed-smith-though-much-is-taken-much-abides
