Barbara Hepworth
a friend to Henry Moore (http://henrymoore.com/) she worked in organicism also, but with a geometric quality. her work is usually refered to as : geometric organism. Hepworth was influenced by ancient cultures including Easter Island figures. She called her abstractions, "figures in a landscape"

David Smith
David Smith was the best known sculptor and the first American to achieve international fame.He started creating welded constructions by using found objects and forged metal. Which I personally feel where a lot stronger rather than some of his paintings. amazing quote: "If you ask me why I make sculpture, I must answer it is my way of life, my balance, and my justification for being." David Smith

Judy Pfaff
Pfaff creates paintings, sculpture, prints, and installation art. Of the creation of her work, she says "I’ve always done prints and drawings, always. No one buys those installations, so when you see things that are portable that I’m not attached to, they’re probably two-dimensional. If you get an installation of mine, you inherit [my assistant] Ryan, myself, a crew, the dog, the noise, the dirt. We wreck the house. So if you don’t want that, then you get prints and drawings." Her installation art has been compared to that of "a collagist in space."
