Ralph Eugene Meatyard :: Untitled, ca. 1965. Gelatin silver print.

In his figurative scene, Meatyard applied the same techniques he used
in his abstract work. Formal means – reflected and indirect as well as
direct light, blurring, composition, texture, shift of focal plane and
multiple exposure – joins figures and props to become carriers of
narrative and symbolic content. Ambiguity and paradox, which are Zen
teaching tools used to free the mind from logic on the path to
enlightenment, were among Meatyard’s favorite devices.
