John Szwed presents the first biography of Harry Smith, the brilliant eccentric who transformed twentieth century art and culture.
What The Reviewers Say
The first comprehensive biography of this hipster magus. It tours his life without ever quite penetrating it. But it’s a knowing and thoughtful book.
Highly enjoyable.
Illuminating, definitive.
Szwed has ably shaped [Smith's] chaos.
