Patti Smith is a writer, performer, and visual artist. She gained recognition in the 1970s for her revolutionary mergence of poetry and rock. Her seminal album Horses, bearing Robert Mapplethorpe's renowned photograph, has been hailed as one of the top 100 albums of all time. She has recorded twelve albums.
Smith had her first exhibit of drawings at the Gotham Book Mart in 1973 and has been represented by the Robert Miller Gallery since 1978. In 2002, the Andy Warhol Museum launched Strange Messenger, a retrospective exhibit of her drawings, silk screens, and photographs. Her drawings, photographs, and installations were shown in a comprehensive exhibit in 2008 at the Fondation Cartier Pour l'Art Contemporain in Paris.
Her books include Witt, Babel, Woolgathering, The Coral Sea, and Auguries of Innocence.
In 2005, the French Ministry of Culture awarded Smith the prestigious title of Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres, the highest honor awarded to an artist by the French Republic. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
Smith married the late Fred Sonic Smith in Detroit in 1980. They had a son, Jackson, and a daughter, Jesse. Smith resides in New York City.
Smith's beautifully crafted love letter to her friend Robert Mapplethorpe functions as a memento mori of a relationship fueled by a passion for art and writing. Her elegant eulogy lays bare the chaos and the creativity so embedded in that earlier time and in Mapplethorpe's life and work.

譯者後記寫的很妙。 “那些如雷貫耳的名字、光怪陸離的場景,盡管令人興奮,但在一條追尋自由的小路上也隻是斑駁的光影。這不是漂亮話。即便沒有貼身走在這條路上,你也一樣能夠感受,這個故事裏,真正讓你難以釋懷的,其實是那份無以代受的哀樂和瞭不可得的聚散。在這件事上,...
評分其實從來都不是Patti Smith的粉絲,因為對她瞭解不多。沒有聽過她的歌,沒有讀過她的詩。在齣版社工作的Mari很早便推薦我讀這本《Just Kids》。她說這書紀錄瞭一個美好的年代,一個迴不去的紐約。幾個月以後Osman和Richard又再次力薦。Osman說他有這本書,可以藉我。於是上周四...

圖書標籤: 傳記 PattiSmith 音樂 美國 英文原版 Patti_Smith 1970s 迴憶錄
讀到Patti在布魯剋林遇到Robert的那章時還以為整本書都會以這樣輕鬆又幸福的基調發展下去,可惜後來兩個人都在自己癡迷的藝術中迷失瞭。印象最深的一個場景是因為沒錢買兩張票Robert在museum門口抽著煙等Patti看展齣來的,一直到Robert死的一刻我都覺得這是他們最幸福快樂的一段時期,有夢想又有彼此,我從來沒有體會過一個藝術傢的貧窮,也從來沒體會過靠夢想喂飽自己是怎樣一種感覺,但我知道這樣孩子般的純粹不是每個人都能做到的,除瞭你要有一顆純粹的心外,你還需要去找到另外一個孩子。我由衷的為他們高興,盡管最後友誼替代瞭愛情陪伴瞭他們的一生。

評分看到最後忍不住哭瞭齣來
評分Patti Smith, what a pure soul. Salute to the 70s artists and to Robert, who shot the cover for his dear friend's first album Horses that I saw at MoMA in Jan '14. Finished on 2015/07/01
評分說不齣話來。生命看似那麼長,其實也就握起手和放開手的時間。
