Ralph Eugene Meatyard: The Family Album of Lucybelle Crater
Ralph Eugene Meatyard: The Family Album of Lucybelle Crater
The series presents portraits of the artist’s wife wearing a dime-store hag’s mask, paired with various family members and friends who wear a transparent hard-plastic mask. The titles of the images outline cryptic relationships, and in all instances, both figures are identified by the same name: Lucybelle Crater.
