Cahill Expressway - Jeffrey Smart

Jeffrey Smart

One of Australian artist Jeffrey Smart's most famous works is Cahill Expressway (1962). The painting shows a stylised view of the Cahill Expressway tunnel and approach road, with a single man shown at the side of the image. The painting shows the alienation many feel when faced with the infrastructure of large freeways, especially when closely juxtaposed with pedestrian scale areas.

Famous quotes containing the word smart:

    I thought I seen some mean little gals in my time, but you’re the meanest. You want to know how I know how mean you are? ‘Cause I’m mean. I’m smart and I’m mean. And you’re smart and you’re mean. And you never get caught and I never get caught.
    John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)
