	Jack Smith
		Jack Smith was one of the most accomplished and influential underground artists in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, a key figure in the cultural history of Downtown film, performance, and art.
		In his filmmaking, Smith's initial goal was to create a sense of "aesthetic delirium." Through his use of outdated film stock and baroque subject matter, Smith pushed the limits of the medium, liberating it from the straitjacket of "good"' technique and "proper" behavior.
		Smith created startling stage effects through the spontaneous re arrangement and interplay of recorded imagery on film and slides, with the live action on the "stage", editing and re-editing the film images on the spot, in the midst of the performance.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Jack Smith
		Smith, who was raised in trailers in Ohio and Texas before landing in New York in 1950, was also a brilliant writer, wit, a pioneer in what came to be called performance art and in being an early proponent of using color in fine art photography.
		Smith’s own standards for art let him refashion Montez and the whole ethos of tinny Orientalia, low-budget intrigues, and what he called Universal’s "cowhide thongs and cardboard sets" into Dionysian revels that were both wild camp and subtle polemic in upsetting an overflowing apple cart of norms: heterosexuality, narrative, social and sexual and aesthetic repressions.
		Smith, who died in 1989 of pneumocystis, was a trickster second to none in whose remarks, even the impromptu ones — "O Maria Montez, give socialist answers to a rented world!" — lay treasures of wit and pleasure.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		Smith saw the movie strictly as a comedy and eventually became so alienated by Mekas's rhetorical and institutional appropriation of it that he never made another film that achieved a final form.
		Like all of Smith's work, its basic mode is children's theater, where dressing up in elaborate drag is the principal pleasure, though a few props--particularly a potted plant and a lantern--are treated every bit as lovingly as the cast and costumes.
		Smith modestly credits himself only for this handheld photography in the movie itself, and there's no question that it's his brush creating the painterly splendors that unfold, even when he's jiggling and bouncing the camera to simulate an earthquake toward the end or, more generally, to express his delirious pleasure in what he's filming.

	JERRY TARTAGLIA OM JACK SMITH
		Jack Smith directed his films as insane parodies of Hollywood, from the complex to a completely predictable universe.

		In the early 1960s, when much of the airwaves were segregated, Bob Smith created his shadowy wild man alter ego so that he could DJ on the radio the "rhythm and blues" race records n he loved so much.
		As the enigmatic Wolfman Jack, the young white man from one of Brooklyn, one of New York's toughest neighborhoods, could easily hide behind a voice that masked his true ethnic roots.
		Without the benefit of traditional advertising, it was word of mouth that spread the news about the provocative Wolfman and his nonconformist style -- the kind of style that horrified parents, making it all the more appealing to a growing legion of young followers.

		But after three rehearsals Jack announced that he liked the other play better and told me I was "ruining my talent with sensationalism." He quit, and after that I didn't see much of him, though I don't think Jack demonized me the way he had so many other ex-associates like Jonas Mekas.
		I know that some of Jack's followers were disturbed by Ron getting more attention for impersonating Jack than Jack ever got for impersonating himself, but Ron's admiration was quite genuine, and the truth is that both Ron and Jack were brilliant performers who never got their due.
		It is a romantic notion that Jack probably would have embraced in his bittersweet way, because he was, in the end, a surrealist romantic, a figure of impermeable integrity enslaved by his visions and quite incapable of betraying them to petty commerce.

		Unlike Warhol, who had a genius for attracting and holding on to collaborators and powerful supporters, Smith, who was fully as charismatic, was a Blakean agonist in his personal relations, thriving on enmity, with the power to mythologize his antagonisms, his obsessions, and his fantasies.
		The irony of Smith's career as a filmmaker is that, once he established himself and found an' audience with Flaming Creatures, he never completed another film for public exhibition.
