Description

Stages for Being examines the photography that Ralph Eugene Meatyard (1925-1972) created in and around Lexington, Kentucky, where he found abandoned houses to use as sets, directing friends and family members in scenes that suggest both ritual and theater. Establishing mood with natural lighting, he used masks, dolls, and found objects as unsettling props, and mined architectural detail for abstract compositional elements.
