Harry Everett Smith
Harry Everett Smith (May 29, 1923 in Portland, Oregon – November 27, 1991 in New York City) was a visual artist, experimental filmmaker, record collector, bohemian, mystic, and largely self-taught student of anthropology.
Smith was an important figure in the Beat Generation scene in New York City, and his activities, such as his use of mind-altering substances and interest in esoteric spirituality, anticipated aspects of the Hippie movement.
Besides his films, most notably his full length cutout animated film "Heaven and Earth Magic" (1962), Smith is also widely known for his influential "Anthology of American Folk Music", drawn from his extensive collection of out-of-print commercial 78 rpm recordings.
Throughout his life Smith was an inveterate collector.
In addition to records, artifacts he collected included string figures, paper airplanes, Seminole textiles, and Ukrainian Easter eggs.

Early Abstractions
Early Abstractions is a collection of seven short animated films created by Harry Everett Smith between 1939 and 1956.
Each film is between two and six minutes long, and is named according to the chronological order in which it was made.
The collection includes "Numbers 1–57", and "10", while the missing "Numbers 8" and "9" are presumed to have been lost.
The idea of the numbering was to suggest a coherent link between each individual film, and that they were to be treated not just on their own but as part of a larger body of work.
Of the missing chapters, "Number 6" was made up of three-dimensional optically printed abstractions; "Number 8" was a black and white collage of clippings taken from nineteenth century ladies wear catalogues and elocution books, and "Number 9" was a color collage of biology books and nineteenth century temperance
movement| posters.
The remaining films show a gradual evolution in Smith's technical complexity, with blunt abstraction rudimentary motion more prominent in the early shorts, in contrast to an allegoric dance of Tarot cards, and Buddhist and Cabalistic symbols.
Initially recorded with no sound, a medley of music by The Beatles was added retrospectively.
Because the songs do not exactly sync up with each individual film, some critics have opined that this does not enhance the film, and recommend watching it in silence.
In 2006, "Early Abstractions" was selected to the National Film Registry by the Librarian of Congress for its "cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance".
The Academy Film Archive preserved films 1, 2, and 3 of "Abstractions".
