Beverly Buchanan (American, 1940–2015) :: ‘‘Hunger and Hardship Creek’’ Postcard, 1977. Postcard Private collection
Beverly Buchanan reworked this satirical self-portrait into multiple postcards, subsequently titling some of them C.A. Moore’s Picture of a Starving Artist, Dublin, Georgia. Located sixty miles south of Macon, Hunger and Hardship Creek was so named for the struggles it witnessed. Buchanan may have been there to visit the area’s Native American Mississippian mounds, which are similar to the monumental Ocmulgee mounds in her then-hometown of Macon.
