  • Ralph Eugene Meatyard's Death in 1972 Just a Week Away from His 47Th Birthday Not Only Deprived Modern Art of One of Its M
    Rhem/Meatyard 1 Ralph Eugene Meatyard 1925 - 1972 by James Rhem Copyright © 1999 This text is the English language original for Photo Poche No. 87 Ralph Eugene Meatyard NATHAN/HER 2000, Paris ISBN 209-754 142-9 The book is available in the United States through local bookstores or Photo-Eye in Sante Fe, New Mexico 1- 800-227-6941. Photo-Eye also has a web site www.photoeye.com Copyright © 1999 - James Rhem All Rights Reserved Rhem/Meatyard 2 Ralph Eugene Meatyard (1925—1972) Ralph Eugene Meatyard's death in 1972, a week away from his 47th birthday, came at the height of the "photo boom," a period of growth and ferment in photography in the United States which paralleled the political and social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. It was a time of ambition, not reflection, a time for writing resumés, not thoughtful and inclusive histories; in the contest of reputation, dying in 1972 meant leaving the race early.1 It was left to friends and colleagues to complete an Aperture monograph on Meatyard2 and carry through with the publication of The Family Album of Lucybelle Crater (1974) which he had laid out and sequenced before his death. While he lived Meatyard's work was shown and collected by major museums, published in important art magazines, and regarded by his peers as among the most original and disturbing imagery ever created with a camera. He exhibited with such well- known and diverse photographers as Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, Minor White, Aaron Siskind, Harry Callahan, Robert Frank, and Eikoh Hosoe.

  • A Portfolio of Photographs and Poems by James Baker Hall
    24 James Baker Hall A Portfolio of Photographs and Poems by James Baker Hall The James Baker Hall Archive of Photographs and Films represents over fifty years of Jim’s image-making.* It is clear, through careful notation of the many sleeves of negatives we have, that Jim was very rarely without his camera. His fascinations were people he knew; the nature that surrounded his house in Sadieville, Kentucky; Paris, France; and the history of his family. These subjects run through many of his bodies of work, and his method of working evolved many times over his decades as a photographer, which allowed him to revisit photographs from earlier periods and utilize new techniques to articulate his deepening vision. Jim’s earliest photographs are portraits of people he knew and respected. Because they were all writing students at the University of Kentucky together in the late-50s, he took many photographs of Wendell Berry, Bobbie Ann Mason, Ed McClanahan, and Gurney Norman. Beginning in the mid-60s, and continuing for the rest of his life, he photographed a number of writers—Larry McMurtry, Bob Holman, William Merwin, Louise Glück, Ai, Gerald Stern, and Maurice Manning, among many others. These photographs show a deep connection to the person, and great commitment to the medium. Relying on natural light and the available surroundings for background, they generally bend toward documentation with casual staging of person and place, and at times reveal the influence of his friendships with photographers Minor White, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Bob May, and others. He worked primarily in black & white portraiture until the mid-80s.

Has Europe truly exorcised the specter of violence? Is violence a necessary product of the self-assertion dictated by modern European forms of subjectivity? Our symposium on “Europe Today and the Memory of Violence” brought together speakers from a wide range of disciplines to consider these questions.

  • In Memory of James Baker Hall, Ace Coverstory July 1, 2009
    ON THE COVER In Memory James Baker Hall 1935 – 2009 When James Baker Hall died last week he left behind a beloved family (wife and fellow author Mary Ann Taylor Hall, three sons) and a literary legacy as a UK Graduate, a Stegner Fellow, Kentucky’s former Poet Laureate, and a 30-year tenure as director of the writing pro- gram at the University of Kentucky. He was well-known for his writing, his photography, and his teaching. In these pages, friends and colleagues and former students share their memories of Jim. There will be a memorial service on July 11 in Gratz Park at 4pm (indoors at Carnegie Center if it rains). Reception follows at 5 pm. The Elastic Trapezoid, Minus One By Ed McClanahan endell Berry, Gurney Norman, James Baker Hall, and I — fledgling writers all — became cohorts and close friends when we were students in the UK WEnglish department in the second half of the 1950s. (Bobbie Ann Mason arrived at UK just as I was leaving, and we didn’t meet till many years later.) Between 1958 and 1962, all four of us snagged Wallace Stegner Fellowships in Creative Writing at Stanford University, and during those years and many more to follow, although we lived, variously, in California, Oregon, Seattle, Europe, New York, Kentucky, and Connecticut, we steadfastly maintained our four-cornered friendship—an “elastic trapezoid,” Wendell cleverly labeled it — no matter where, individually, we happened to find ourselves. Eventually, of course, we all “found ourselves” — figuratively as well as lit- erally — right back in Kentucky where we started; the trapezoid had finally sta- bilized, and squared its corners.
