Ralph Eugene Meatyard Catalogue
$ 45.00
Fully illustrated catalogue of the exhibition "Stages for Being". Ralph Eugene Meatyard (1925 – 1972) was a Kentucky based photographer who created enigmatic images that would secure his place in the history of the medium by consciously challenging the concept of the camera as a mere recorder of the world. Meatyard used abandoned homes as sets and directed his wife, children, and friends in scenes that suggest both ritual and theater, creating mood with natural lighting, masks, dolls, and unsettling props. Includes 50 color images, many of which have not been published previously.
