William Egglestons guide
€49.00
The first art photographer to be rewarded with a show at MoMA and the endorsement of modern photography’s very own Clement Greenberg, John Szarkowski, Eggleston became an enigmatic central figure in a new school of the everyday. There is however no denying the independent richness of his vision, its openness to a populist visual language, his strong sense of place, and a freshness of approach that is in part a product of never taking more than one shot of the same subject in a sitting.
Published as a catalog for the first one-person exhibition of color photography at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in 1976, 'William Eggleston's Guide' features photographs by William Eggleston documenting everyday life in the American South. The book includes an influential essay by John Szarkowski, who curated the exhibition and served as the Director of Photography for MoMA. It is widely considered a landmark publication in color photography history, marking a significant moment in the recognition of the medium as fine art.
