Softcover. Zustand: FINE. AUSTRALIAN ARTExhibition Catalogue pp. 51 #060424Frank Jeffrey Edson SmartÂAOÂ(26 July 1921Ââ" 20 June 2013) was an expatriate Australian painter known for hisÂprecisionistÂdepictions of urban landscapes that are "full of private jokes and playful allusions".[1]Smart was born and educated in Adelaide where he worked as an Art teacher. After departing for Europe in 1948 he studied in Paris atÂLa Grande Chaumià re, and later at the Acadà mie Montmartre underÂFernand Là ger. He returned to Australia 1951, living in Sydney, and began exhibiting frequently in 1957. In 1963, he moved toÂItaly. After a successful exhibition in London, he bought a rural property called "Posticcia Nuova" nearÂArezzoÂinÂTuscany. He resided there with his partner until his death.ÂA major retrospectiveÂof his works travelled around Australian art galleries 1999â"2000.[2][3]Smart is one of Australia's best known artistsÂwith his almost iconic and unique imagery, heavily influenced by various artists and art forms. His stark portrayals of contemporary life, both realistic and absurd, have been the basis of many artistic discussions.[15]ÂCritics and admirers of Smart's paintings often debate his subject matter but in interviews Smart has preferred not to discuss his style; "Leaving the interpretation as the prerogative of the individual viewer."[16]ÂSmart states that he "paints a picture because he likes the shape", and when asked why his skies are always so gloomy and smog-laden or why his faces never wear a smile, he claims "I need a dark sky for the composition, because pale blue at the top of a frame looks nothingÂ. [and] because a smiling face is too hard to paint".[16] Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
