Leon Polk Smith (1906?1996) has a unique place in American geometric abstract painting, for his simple shapes, brilliant colours and intense compositions. This publication focuses on the pivotal moment in the 1950s when he moved from the Eurocentric influences of abstraction to forge his own visual language infused with the trends of the time.
