First edition of 1,000 copies

Thirty-two pictures in which Meatyard’s images are at least double exposures, introduced by Emmet Gowin, who knew him at the turn of the 1970s. "It is a sobering joy to revisit these spontaneous, imaginative and transcendent photographs again, thirty-six years later. The photographs continue to speak to us of a world beyond the one we normally see. We live in a world of appearances and mental habits. 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. 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."

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
