Born Mike Meyer, Disfarmer owned and operated a private portrait studio for more most of his adult life. Usually using antiquated glass-plate negatives, Disfarmer captured the likeness of the residents of Heber Springs, Arkansas and the surrounding farmland during a pivotal moment in American history. He died in 1959.
"Disfarmer was a visual genius." - The Village Voice "Gimmickless, stark, characterful family photographs that make all the voguey name stuff seem utterly pallid in comparison." - Forbes"
