Thanks to the Walker Art Center in Dallas, Texas, and Isla Leaver-Yap (and her excellent essay, What is Normal Love?, regarding Smith's most ambitious film,) eight brief excerpts from Normal Love, in the lovely and newly struck print (made possible by the Barbara Gladstone Gallery and Jerry Tartaglia,) have appeared online and I'm going to place them here in their proper order. However, watching these little videos should not be taken as any kind of substitute for seeing the entire film, and that means seeing it projected from beginning to end. (It's especially unfortunate that Jack Smith's ghost can not be resurrected to screen the film in person.)
Art, propaganda and pornography presented by the artist sometimes known as Arte Barrato (even misspelled as it is here,) some of it his own work and most of it stuff he appreciates and chooses to elucidate and honor.
