was an American photographer. His most famous works involved masks, worn by posing people, or ordinary objects. His best known images were populated with dolls and masks, with family, friends and neighbors pictured in abandoned buildings or in ordinary suburban backyards.He was regarded by his peers as among the most original and disturbing imagery ever created with a camera. Meatyard created a mode of "No-Focus" imagery that was distinctly his own. "No-Focus" images ran entirely counter to any association of camera art with objective realism and opened a new sense of creative freedom in his art. His work sprang from the beauty of ideas rather than ideas of the beautiful. Meatyard haunted the world of inner experience, continually posing unsettling questions about our emotional realities through his pictures.
