A Smart Day Out
The National Gallery in Canberra is having an exhibition of Jeffrey Smart https://nga.gov.au/exhibitions/jeffrey-smart/ We are planning a trip to visit the exhibition on Thursday 12 May.
The year 2021 marks one hundred years since the birth of acclaimed Australian artist Jeffrey Smart. This major exhibition celebrates and commemorates this significant centenary.
One of Australia’s most celebrated artists, Smart sought inspiration from the world around him – looking to the environment of urban and industrial modernity – which he transformed through his imaginative sense of theatre and intimate understanding of geometry and composition. These potent and intriguing images have become emblematic of 20th and 21st century urban experience.
Building on the foundational work already undertaken on Smart, this exhibition will bring fresh perspectives to his artistic contribution so that his remarkable legacy will be kept alive in the present.
Concession ticket price is $15
Following the early start we will have morning tea in Braidwood before travelling on to Canberra. We plan to have lunch in Canberra and, if time permits, to visit the Mint.
