Pondering pink . .

At the Jeffrey Smart exhibition at the NGA, Canberra, I happened on this group responding to the deep and meaningful question of why Smart painted the spiral staircase pink in the painting 'Jacob Descending' (1979)!

Great composition

We don't have to see eyes to know that the group is giving serious thought to the painting. fav

[Joan Robillard]

Interesting

[Susan Wakely]

Great title and candid shot.

[Suzanne]

I wanted to interject with the answer that I reckon he painted it pink because he could!

@cocobella @essiesue @joansmor @wakelys

[Kerry McCarthy]

They certainly look could absorbed!

[Korcsog Károly]

Unfortunately, I don’t have the knowledge to do this, but maybe this color harmonizes best with the environment!

[Suzanne]

Yes they were!

You could be right! @kork

[Jacqueline]

Super candid shot!

[Suzanne]

Thankyou! @jacqbb

It must have been an interesting brainstorming session, but probably as many contributors as there are opinions.

[Suzanne]

You are right. @borof
