Description
Harry Smith: American Magus offers an intimate look at the life and artistic practice of a true original. As a filmmaker, music anthologist, and enigmatic polymath, Harry Smith was a spiritual outsider who lived for art and gnosis with little thought for practical consequences. This expanded edition includes previously unpublished photos and color images that bring his world to life. Through intimate interviews with those who knew him best, Paola Igliori provides invaluable insight into the mind of one of the twentieth century's most enigmatic figures. The result is a privileged look not only into Smith's life but also into his era and the informal economy of influence that operated during that time. A fascinating glimpse into the cultural avant-garde of mid-century America, Harry Smith: American Magus is a must-have for anyone interested in art, music, and the intersection of creativity and spirituality.
