...encyclopedia of vexillology (Smith's coinage for the scientific study of flags). His enthusiasm is sometimes unsettling, as if the history of the dog were being told from the point of view of its tail. Yet his sprightly lectures are packed with odd information, and the 2,800 color illustrations that flutter through them make this unquestionably the standard book on standard-bearing...

His post-World-War-I work gradually discards the "spiritual" for a progressive mechanization of imagery and color. The magic and the music of the earlier paintings disappears; the movement here is not that of the cosmos, but that of a machine. These canvases are products of design, not creation...
