 Philip Bacon Galleries
"Smart’s work may be understood as evoking the energy and hope and the intellectual ambition of the Renaissance, only to show us simultaneously how the humanist adventure that began five centuries ago has led to an anonymous and inhuman contemporary environment.
One may even detect in the unquiet skies of some of these pictures a sense that the world of nature, apparently almost extinguished, is threatening revenge.
But it would be a mistake to make Smart’s work sound angry or censorious.

 Grafico Books. Australian Art: Not Quite Straight - A Memoir by Jeffrey Smart
Born in Adelaide in 1921, Smart had a glimpse of his destiny early: at the age of four, he was taken on a grand tour of Europe, and he spent much of the next 38 years plotting and planning and desperately saving to go back there permanently.
Smart’s memoir is a vivid series of snapshots of a life lived out in sometimes seedy, more often exotic and affluent, locales: from working as a sink scrubber on a slow boat to London, to working as Phidias on ABC radio, and to having dinner parties with writers David Malouf and Germaine Greer.
If Smart is reluctant to pin down his art, the art establishment itself has often been unsure of how to deal with him: he does not fit neatly into the Australian artistic mainstream, and at various times (such as duing the 1950s abstract expressionist craze) he has been ignored by the powerful art institutions.

 Jeffrey Smart
Smart is described as a social commentator, a witness to the alienated city dweller or worker in a dehumanized landscape.
Smart himself has said that the inclusion of figures in his paintings is a compositional device.
This demonstrates that what is important to Smart is composition and spatial construction showing that although he doesn’t often make Italy specific subject of his work, the country’s rich artistic tradition and in particular the influence of Renassiance painters such as Piero Della Francesca, is strong in his work.

 ART REVIEWS - JEFFREY SMART RETROSPECTIVE EXHIBITION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Jeffrey Smart is a legend and the retrospective currently touring Australia is a great opportunity for Australians to get off their bums and into a gallery to experience this expatriate's truly wonderful perspective on life, composition and the art of the detached.
Smart's subject matter is very urban and in many ways, mundane and often bleak, but he treats it in such a way as to make it almost special, using colour and light to make the urban landscapes/objects themselves scapes to be admired for their honesty.
Figures in Smart's paintings are often inanimate props in the composition - we don't need to read a greater personal meaning into their presence, apart from the fact that they give the picture a human dimension that strikes a chord.

 Art Interview - Jeffrey Smart (1921- )
Born in Adelaide in 1921, Smart received a formal art education at the South Australian School of Arts and Crafts, Adelaide and the Adelaide Teacher’s College.
Many critics argue that despite Smart’s move to Italy, there still remains a distinct Australian sense of humour in his work which can be seen in the way he follows the strict compositional rules of painting to create a highly ambiguous and often surreal settings.

 Grafico Arts: Jeffrey Smart Interview
JEFFREY Smart sees absurdity in our bright modern world, but he is not a mocker.
Whatever spirit it is that guides him, Smart has repeatedly said that art should be made out of the ordinary world, and that is why he paints airports, carparks and expressways.
Smart’s immediate Tuscan surroundings are much as they have been for centuries, and he sticks to the immemorial routines of the painter in his studio, patiently preparing sketches, studies and detailed final paintings, much as Piero della Francesca and Vermeer (two of Smart’s idols) must have done centuries ago.
