They made it clear that they possessed certain magical secrets of their profession, but they mentioned them evasively. Now and then they made lofty artistic pronouncements, but they showed a more sincere interest in anecdotes about scenarios that were written on a cuff during a gay supper.... This might well be a description of Hollywood during any period of its cultivated silence on the matter of film-making. Actually, it is Leningrad in 1924, described by Grigori Kozintsev in his memoirs.1 It is so seldom that we are allowed to study the disclosures of a Hollywood film-maker about his medium that I cannot recall the last instance that preceded John Howard Lawson's book. There is no dearth of books about Hollywood, but when did any other book come from there that takes such articulate pride in the art that is-or was-made there? I have never understood exactly why the makers of American films felt it necessary to hide their methods and aims under blankets of coyness and anecdotes, the one as impenetrable as the other.

    Iconic Artist

    Artist, Musician and Poet Patti Smith’s New Photography and Installation Work to be Presented at the Wadsworth Atheneum HARTFORD, Conn., May 26, 2011 – From her explorations of artistic expression with friend and vanguard photographer Robert Mapplethorpe in the 1960s and 70s to her profound influence on the nascent punk rock scene in the late 1970s and 80s, pioneering artist, musician, and poet Patti Smith has made her mark on the American cultural landscape throughout her 40-year career. This fall, an exhibition of Smith’s work will premiere at the Wadsworth Atheneum, featuring over sixty new photographs and multimedia installations created between 2002 and 2011. The first museum presentation of Smith’s work in the United States in nearly ten years, Patti Smith: Camera Solo will highlight the continual symbiosis between Smith’s photography and her interest in poetry and literature and is on view from October 21, 2011 – February 19, 2012. “Patti Smith’s photography, shaped over decades of observation, commemorates the artists, poets, authors, family and friends from whom she draws inspiration. Modest in scale and shot solely in black and white, they are sometimes disquieting and often beautiful, but always intimate,” said Susan Talbott, Director and CEO, Wadsworth Atheneum. “We are thrilled to present this work at the Wadsworth Atheneum where Smith’s mentor Sam Wagstaff was curator and the work of her dear friend Robert Mapplethorpe was the subject of two separate exhibitions.” Patti Smith: Camera Solo will present approximately sixty black-and-white silver gelatin prints photographed with her vintage Polaroid camera. In the era of digital imaging and manipulation, Smith’s works champion the use of photography in its most classical sense: as a tool to document a “found” moment.

    Le Hurlement Du Papillon Performance Poétique

    performance poétique un projet du collectif de création Piment, Langue d’oiseau le hurlement du papillon performance poétique Le hurlement du papillon est une exploration poétique et musicale de l’univers de Patti Smith. Une comédienne, une musicienne et un musicien se proposent de faire découvrir à travers ce spectacle, une des facettes moins connue public francophone de Patti Smith : sa poésie. Le parcours retrace une œuvre littéraire de 1970 à aujourd’hui, dans la pure inspiration de la poésie happening américaine, mouvement initié dans les années soixante par des personnalités telles que John Giorno, William Burroughs, Alan Ginsberg, Brion Gysin... Photo Robert Mappelthorpe (1974) Comme elle a souvent l’habitude de le faire lors de ses récitals poétiques, ses poèmes, ici dits en français, seront accompagnés d’univers sonores et musicaux originaux, joués en direct par les musiciens. Le hurlement du papillon est aussi un voyage survolant sa carrière musicale par la reprise d’une chanson de chacun de ses albums de « Horses » (1975) à « Trampin’ » (2004). Le parti pris de sobriété de sa forme en fait un spectacle s’adaptant aussi bien aux théâtres ou aux festivals de rue, ainsi qu’aux petits lieux insolites. Photo Annie Leibowitz (1995) Poète, auteur, compositeur, photographe, peintre, Patti Smith, née en 1946 est une artiste, un esprit libre qui fascine par la multiplicité de ses moyens d’expression, par la pureté de son parcours artistique sans concession. Ainsi traverse t’elle les courants, les modes et donc le temps. Les poèmes interprétés dont « le hurlement du papillon » seront choisis dans les deux recueils parus aux éditions Tristram : « La mer de corail » & « Corps de plane » qui regroupent des textes parus entre 1970 & 1979 ; ouvrages édités en France en 1996 & 1998.

Sometimes dubbed the “godmother of punk” — a designation justified by clips of her early rage-fueled performances — Smith was much more than that when she broke through with her 1975 debut album, Horses. A poet and visual artist as well as a rocker, she befriended and collaborated with some of the brightest lights of the American counterculture, an often testosterone-driven scene to which she brought a swagger and fierceness all her own. In “Patti Smith: Dream of Life,” the artist’s memories of these times, and of a period of domestic happiness and the tragedies that brought her back to the stage, attain an intense, hypnotic lyricism, much like that of her own songs.

    Patti Smith, Polar Music Prize Laureate 2011 Patti Smith, born in Chicago in 1946, the oldest of four siblings, was raised in South Jersey. From an early age she gravitated toward the arts and human rights issues. She studied at Glassboro State Teachers College and migrated to New York City in 1967. She teamed up with art student Robert Mapplethorpe and the two encouraged each other’s work process, both of them pursuing painting and drawing and she poetry. In February 1971 Smith performed her first public reading at St. Mark’s Church on the lower eastside, accompanied by Lenny Kaye on guitar. In April of the same year she co-wrote and performed the play Cowboy Mouth with playwright Sam Shepard. Continuing to write and perform her poetry, in 1974 Smith and Lenny Kaye added Richard Sohl on piano. As a trio they played regularly around New York, including the legendary Max’s Kansas City, centering on their collective and varied musical roots and her improvised poetry. The independent single release, Hey Joe/Piss Factory, featured Tom Verlaine. Along with the highly innovative and influential group Television, the trio helped to open up a restricted music scene that centered at CBGBs in New York City. After recruiting guitarist Ivan Kral, they played CBGBs for eight weeks in the Spring of 1975 and then added drummer Jay Dee Daugherty. Smith described their work as “three chords merged with the power of the word.” Smith was signed by Clive Davis to his fledgling Arista label and recorded four albums: Horses (produced by John Cale), Radio Ethiopia (produced by Jack Douglas), Easter (produced by Jimmy Iovine), which included her top twenty hit Because the Night, co-written with Bruce Springsteen, and Wave (produced by Todd Rundgren).

    Classic Poetry Series Henry Lawson - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Henry Lawson(17 June 1867 – 2 September 1922) Henry Lawson was an Australian writer and poet. Along with his contemporary Banjo Paterson, Lawson is among the best-known Australian poets and fiction writers of the colonial period and is often called Australia's "greatest writer". He was the son of the poet, publisher and feminist <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/louisa-lawson/">Louisa Lawson</a>. <b>Early Life</b> Henry Lawson was born in a town on the Grenfell goldfields of New South Wales. His father was Niels Herzberg Larsen, a Norwegian-born miner who went to sea at 21, arrived in Melbourne in 1855 to join the gold rush. Lawson's parents met at the goldfields of Pipeclay (now Eurunderee, New South Wales) Niels and Louisa married on 7 July 1866; he was 32 and she, 18. On Henry's birth, the family surname was anglicised and Niels became Peter Lawson. The newly- married couple were to have an unhappy marriage. Peter Larsen's grave (with headstone) is in the little private cemetery at Hartley Vale New South Wales a few minutes walk behind what was Collitt's Inn. Henry Lawson attended school at Eurunderee from 2 October 1876 but suffered an ear infection at around this time. It left him with partial deafness and by the age of fourteen he had lost his hearing entirely. He later attended a Catholic school at Mudgee, New South Wales around 8 km away; the master there, Mr.

    Diciembre 2008 Poesía. Colección Apuntes De Estética ARTIUM a Veces Patti Smith Se Llama Arthur, Y Otras Veces Bob

    Diciembre 2008 Poesía. Colección Apuntes de Estética ARTIUM A veces Patti Smith se llama Arthur, y otras veces Bob. Benjamín Prado Algunas personas son demasiado crueles para ser un héroe y otras demasiado inteligentes como para que las cosas les ocurran por casualidad. No es casual, por tanto, que sean Bob Dylan y Patti Smith, dos compositores cuyas canciones tienen a menudo el rango de un buen poema, quienes hayan encabezado una campaña internacional para salvar la casa de Londres donde los poetas franceses Arthur Rimbaud y Paul Verlaine mantuvieron un romance legendario en 1872, y donde tanto uno como otro escribieron algunos de sus versos más célebres. Dylan y Smith han señalado siempre a Rimbaud como una de sus principales influencias, ambos lo mencionan en sus obras, él le puso a su guitarra eléctrica el nombre del poeta y ella ha llegado a publicar un poema en el que cuenta un sueño erótico con el joven padre de todos los escritores malditos: «el joven arthur merodea / por la granja (¿roche?) la bomba el pozo / artesiano. lanza vidrio verde conocido como desecho de cristal. / me pega en el ojo. // estoy arriba en la habitación vendando mi herida. él / entra. se apoya contra el dosel. sus mejillas rosadas. / aire desdeñoso manos grandes. lo encuentro endiabladamente sexy. / cómo ocurrió pregunta indiferente. demasiado indiferente. / levanto el vendaje. muestro mi ojo ensangrentado hecho un desastre, / un sueño de Poe. se queda asombrado. // se lo explico rápida bruscamente. alguien me lo hizo. tú me lo hiciste. / se cae sobre la cama. llora. me coge por las rodillas.
