David and Jackson

I'm morbidly fascinated by the fact that David Smith died about 10 years after Jackson Pollock died; both perished in automobile accidents. After learning this little tidbit while I was researching David Smith, I found myself wondering about the other similarities between them. Both artists shared an admiration for Picasso, attention to the surrealists, attended the Art Students League in New York (although ALL four of the artists I researched attended this same school so....), and more. Pollock was more about drip painting while Smith favored constructing and scoring steel; imagine if both artists had combined these two techniques for a joint project....what would have they created?
