Draft talk:Self-portrait (Patti Smith)

Tagged as “essay-like”

I see this article is tagged as “essay-like” and I agree. It would need a complete re-write to become an encyclopedia article, especially taking out all the florid descriptions. Even the opening paragraph says: “...recognized as one of the most influential figures in the artistic and musical scene of the 20th century. Her work transcends the limits of music...” as if this is a promotional flyer for a new exhibition. It needs to become an objective account of a notable exhibition. I won’t be able to add it to my to-do list but it does need doing. --Northernhenge (talk) 18:52, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
