What might a sculptor’s drawings tell us about the creative process? David Smith, who often included drawings in his sculpture exhibitions, offered an artist’s perspective:

"I just want to put in a word to you for drawing, because I think drawing has all the immediacy and flexibility and… a quicker realization than anything else you can do. And I wanted to show you those drawings, because from them my work comes. Not specifically… if I know all about it in drawing, then I don’t have to use a drawing to make a sculpture"
