Patti Smith: Symbolic Portraiture

I contemplate the visual artist, writer, poet, songwriter and performer, Patti Smith with a focus on her writings and photographs for the 2011 exhibition, “Camera Solo,” at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut.

“Camera Solo” was the first museum exhibition of Patti Smith’s photography in the United States and included “seventy photographs taken by her Polaroid camera, one multimedia installation, and one video work.”
