UBC #23 - Ralph Eugene Meatyard Photo Book

Ralph Eugene Meatyard
by Ralph Eugene Meatyard
Steidl/International Center of Photography
c2004 Hardcover / 1st Edition
w/ Intro by Guy Davenport

Meatyard's style: a marriage between a devil and a comic with impeccable timing. Each photo in this collection represents misfortune in its most fragmented, and sometimes illuminating form. There're folks lying unconscious. There're innocent kids in grotesque masks. There're dilapidated homes, rambling fields, post-industrial decay, and blurred tree branches. This is the stuff (and last names) that makes amateurish hacks like me drool with envy. HOORAY! MEATYARD!
