Eric Smith dominated the Australian art world in the 1950s to 1980s, but seemingly vanished from the scene shortly after. Who was Eric Smith and what happened in his artistic career?

Tom Murray, Professor in Screen Media and Creative Arts at Macquarie University and 2SER alum, joined us this morning to provide the answers.

If you’d like to visit Eric Smith: The metaphysics of paint exhibition, head over to the Macquarie University Art Gallery before August 1st. Open weekdays between 10am and 5pm; view more information here.
