A tribute to Jeffrey Smart in a strange black and white sort of a way.

I wouldn't of thought of Jeffrey Smart, except I read your heading.

I find this to be first rate, it's attention grabbing in it's simplicity.

Thanks very much Mick, the reference to Phidias (Jeffrey Smart's pseudonym on ABC children's TV arts rutor for kids my age) may be a little lost in blacK & white but the hazard yellow andd red striped bollards and the large square blocks of the structure are repetitvely recurring devices in much of his urban works.

And another nice ART allusion (illusion?) is the row of De Chirico style shadows coming off those bollards.

Maris, I found the motif compelling exactly because so many of the stars in the sky were in alignment.
