L'assurdo e la rivoltaEsce dalla categoria degli “esistenzialisti”, a cui molti critici lo avevano relegato ma alla quale Camus si era sempre sentito estraneo. L’unico modo per lottare contro l’Assurdo della vita è protestare “Mi ribello; dunque sono” cioè io esisto fin quando rivoltandomi lotto contro l’insensatezza della vita, l’unica cosa certa è la mia protesta.

The Picnic (1980), Jeffrey Smart

@neil-gaiman I heard that Sandalphon was on a ‘secret mission’ in Season 2 Good Omen’s. However, I spotted him not so discretely hoping off a bus in this Jeffrey Smart painting. What is he up to? Where is he going?! Did he turn the driver into salt?

So many questions…

I’ve been taking shots of this corner of Parkham and Bourke Streets for years.

I have a Jeffrey Smart-like attraction to this spot.

I lack his humour, artistic talent and fame, but apart from that….

jeffrey smart -- "the stilt race" (1960)

"the judge, he holds a grudge he’s gonna call on you but he’s badly built and he walks on stilts watch out he don’t fall on you" ... bob dylan

"i find it funny that perhaps in 100 years time, if people look at paintings done by the artists of this century, that the most ubiquitous things, like motor cars and television sets and telephones, don’t appear. we should paint the things around us" ... jeffrey smart

"like the stilt races?" ... al janik

"other people love driving fast cars, or making money, but if i don’t have a picture to paint, i feel miserable. the more i paint, the harder it gets, because i know more, and i’m tougher on myself. i love painting things that i consider beautiful" ... jeffrey smart

"like stilt races??" ... al janik

"i really am a formal painter. i paint the visual world as I see it, the things i consider exciting and beautiful in our contemporary times. an artist should record his own time, in his own style, and i am recording today’s environment. many argue that the modern world is increasingly ugly, but i take pleasure and excitement in modern things i see around me. perhaps i’m trying to help people see the beauty in a gas tank, a road divider, a yellow truck. i paint buildings, factories, freeways, satellite dishes, because i like the definite forms and clean shapes" ... jeffrey smart

"like from stilt races???" ... al janik
