“It was the soar of the human figure that held him, the uncompromising thrust it makes, the fight it carries on with the force of gravity... If this is geometry here, it is geometry that writhes and squirms.”
- Clement Greenberg, The Collected Essays and Criticism, vol. IV, Chicago 1993, pp. 227-98, as quoted in Alex Potts, “Personnages: Imperfect and Persistent”, David Smith: Personage, p. 7
