A Fourfold Vision
R600
The profound and lyric photographs of Ralph Eugene Meatyard open us up to at least a double world, a world where all that is invisible, or only felt, or only dreamed, is as true, or as possible, or as necessary, as the ground which holds us down…In this book, these particular images are at least double exposures, and it would be tempting to stop there, in the twofold world of double vision

Description
The profound and lyric photographs of Ralph Eugene Meatyard open us up to at least a double world, a world where all that is invisible, or only felt, or only dreamed, is as true, or as possible, or as necessary, as the ground which holds us down…In this book, these particular images are at least double exposures, and it would be tempting to stop there, in the twofold world of double vision. But Meatyard’s vision was of Blake’s kind, fourfold, and of immense delight, or belonging at least to the world of “sweet Beulah’s night.” I cannot show you how this is true, but if you have seen it, if you have felt it for yourself, you will know.—from the introduction by Emmet Gowin
