Biography Born in the spring of 1925, Normal, Illinois. Joined the Navy after high school, and later went on to attend Williams College to study pre-dentistry starting in 1943, then Wesleyan University in 1950 to study philosophy. He then moved to Lexington, Kentucky, where he spent most of his life. Purchased a camera following the birth of his first son, and from then on became increasingly interested in photography. Posted exhibitions of his own work and the work of others in the optician’s office he had established. Enjoyed books, Zen, and Jazz

Childhood Normal, Illinois in the 1920’s was likely a pretty quiet place, and Meatyard’s early childhood has been described as “ordinary” As a young boy, there were no indications that his future interests would include artistic photography

Style of Photography: surreal Meatyard is known for his portraits of people in goulash masks. These photos are intentionally enigmatic, black and white, and often eerie; Meatyard believed that masks had the power to dissolve the differences between people. He also took photos of plant life and nature. Excessive shutter slowness was sometimes utilized in his shots, and many of them were close-ups, as well.
