Jeffrey Smart was born in Adelaide in 1921 and attended Adelaide Teacher's College and the South Australian School of Arts and Crafts. He travelled to Europe in 1948, studying with Fernand Leger in Paris. During the 1940s and 1950s, Smart worked as a teacher, art critic and in television and radio arts programs in order to support his future career as a painter. In 1963 he moved permanently to Arezzo, Italy. Smart is best known for his depictions of depopulated urban environments, focussing on the constructed, manmade elements of the industrial landscape.
Peter Clemenger co-founded the advertising agency Clemenger Communications Limited in 1946, and served as chairman for 30 years. Clemenger and his wife Joan are also arts patrons, establishing foundations and grants at the National Gallery of Victoria, the Victorian Arts Centre and the Victorian College of the Arts. In 2001, Peter Clemenger was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia for service to business and commerce in Melbourne, to the development of tourism and to the community.
