Hommage to Jeffery Smart

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I believe Jeffery Smart is in town so I knocked up this as a salute to the great artist. It is in his style and it's a montage. Hope you like it.

Having done some research last week I actually know who Geoffrey Smart is and get the reference. This is interesting. How many layers - just the girl and the background or are there more bits?

You crack me up.

My research was good, my spelling bad. Is this him (different spelling of Jeffrey to both of us!)

Jeffrey Smart (b.1921) Smart studied at the SASA from 1937-1941 under Ivor Hele. Originally Smart aspired to be an architect but soon moved into painting. Smart studied in Paris in 1949 with Fernand Leger and in 1941 he attended the studio lessons of the Modernist artist Dorrit Black who introduced him to the geometric method for establishing the Golden Mean, which today forms the basis of all of Smart's work. He has been exhibiting regularly since 1957 and in 1999-2000 he was honoured by a major retrospective organised by the AGNSW. Since 1965 Smart has been living in Italy. His work is represented in the NGA, all state galleries, many regional galleries and numerous private and corporate collections, both nationally and internationally including Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and the de Beers collection.

Yes. That's him...though they have shown you only a few of his images. See if you can find a site that shows more of his remarkable work. You will fall in love with it.

I am more familiar with the work of his uncle, Maxwell. He favoured a great deal of control in his work, with a view to reducing the effects of kaos in our lives. From '86 to '99, he maintained silence, while keeping early telecommunications under foot.

Sorry about that, Matt.

 LOL How long did it take you to think that up Greg?


Matt - I like your picture much more than the ones posted on that site from the second link.

For interest, this self-portrait of Jeffrey Smart is part of the University of Queensland art collection that is located in the James and Mary Emelia Mayne Centre.
