| Zusammenfassung: | "A biography of filmmaker, anthropologist, and mystic Harry Smith"-- He was an anthropologist, filmmaker, painter, folklorist, mystic, and walking encyclopedia-- and Szwed considers Harry Smith to be one of the twentieth century’s most overlooked cultural figures. From his time recording the customs of Native American tribes in the Pacific Northwest and Florida to his life in Greenwich Village in its heyday, Smith was consumed by an unceasing desire to create a unified theory of culture. An insatiable creator and collector, Smith was responsible for the influential Anthology of American Folk Music and several pioneering experimental films, but was also an insufferable and destructive eccentric who was unable to survive in regular society, or keep himself healthy or sober. -- adapted from jacket |

"Harry Smith was a tormented transcontinental scer who lived like a freeloading visitor from another di mension. John Szwed’s book captures the druggie angel/devil hoarder musicologist/filmmaker at work building a new reality, one we’d inhabit today if we could get to it.” A. S. HAMRAHuhor of Лг1 Earth Dies Streaming: Film Writing, 2002-2018 He was an anthropologist, a filmmaker, a painter, a folklorist, a mystic, and a walking encyclopedia. Ue taught Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe about the occult, swapped drugs with Timothy Leary, had a front-row scat to a young Thelonious Monk, lived with (and tortured) Allen Ginsberg, was admired by Susan Sontag, and was one of the first artists funded by the Guggenheim Foundation. He was always broke, generally intoxicated, compulsively irascible, and un impeachably authentic. Harry Smith was, in the words of Robert Frank, “the only person I met in my life that transcended everything.” In Cosmic Scholar, the Grammy Award-winning music scholar and celebrated biographer John Szwed patches together, for the first time, the life of one of the twentieth century’s most overlooked cultural fig ures. From his time recording the customs of Native American tribes in the Pacific Northwest and Florida to his life in Greenwich Village in its heyday, Smith was consumed by an unceasing desire to create a uni fied theory of culture. He was an insatiable creator and collector, responsible for the influential Anthology ofAmerican Folk Music and several pioneering exper imental films, but he was also an insufferable and destructive eccentric
who was unable to survive in reg ular society, or keep himself healthy or sober. Exhaustively researched, energetically told, and complete with a trove of images, Cosmic Scholar is a feat of biographical restoration and the long overdue canonization of an American icon. |
