"Mike Disfarmer is a true American eccentric. Born Mike Meyer, he changed his name to distance himself from both the surrounding farming community of his native Arkansas and from his own kinfolk—claiming that a tornado had accidentally blown him onto the Meyer family farm as a baby. The son of a German-born Union soldier in the heart of the South, Disfarmer was an agnostic from Lutheran stock among the church-going Baptists and Methodist ..."

"A fascinating collection of portraits of the townspeople of Heber Springs, Arkansas. Disfarmer was not well liked by the townfolk but they came to him to get their photos taken. He made no attempt to elicit a smile or adhere to any other other convention of commercial portraiture poses. So the photos tend to be of people as they were; not as they might have been "photographed." 135 pages; illustrated through out with b&w photographic pl ..."

"Mort en 1959, le photographe américain Mike Disfarmer reste partiellement une énigme. Ce fils de fermiers autodidacte a photographié dans son studio rudimentaire de Heber Springs, petite ville de l'Arkansas, toute la vie d'une communauté rurale qu'il n'a jamais quittée. Il est considéré à juste titre comme un des plus grands portraitistes américains."

"Last year, as The New York Times has reported, a young couple from Heber Springs, Arkansas offered a collector 50 family photographs, unassuming black-and-white studio portraits dating from the mid-twentieth century. That quiet sale, which raised the possibility that there were other vintage prints of Mike Disfarmer's work in area family albums, set off a competitive buying frenzy that had collectors going door to door through rural Ark ..."
