Summer 2008

Cover of Issue #33

Putting together this issue’s portfolio on Ralph Lemon has deepened my admiration for his artistry and presented fresh aspects of his work to consider. In limited space, the portfolio reflects on Lemon’s company ventures in the early nineties, as well as the Geography Trilogy, his drawings of James Baldwin, and his current collaborations with Walter Carter, a 100-year-old man living in Yazoo County, Mississippi. This range was made possible by the contributions of Anthony Allen, Frank Oudeman, Peggy Phelan, and Katherine Profeta. In distinct ways, their photographs and writing illuminate the complexity and rigor of Lemon’s work, as well as its immense integrity and heart. A special thank you goes to Ralph for his generosity throughout the process. Although transcribing interviews is generally a tedious task, listening to Ralph’s thoughtful ruminations from Paris (played at slow-speed on my living room stereo) was a much-appreciated joy.
