90John Metoyer, b. 1966

Rag and Bone, 1996
Cyanotype on Heavy Watercolor Paper
20 x 17  in.

Signed in pencil with title and date on the verso. A striking composition of the skeleton of a fowl against and in the midst of a surface of blotches and drips.

Metoyer is a poet and photographer. He is descended from a Frenchman who came to Louisiana and married a slave. Their plantation was possibly the first owned by a former slave. “Blood Migration” was published in a beautiful edition by 21st Editions in 2008. His cyanotypes have recently been shown in the 1916 exhibition “Cyanotypes: Photography’s Blue Period” at the Worcester Art Museum in association with the Clark University Art Museum.” They were exhibited in 2005 at the John Stevenson Gallery, New York. He is represented by the CEPA Gallery in Buffalo and the Kitano Alley Gallery in Kobe, Japan.
