The American photographer William Eggleston (born 1939) emerged in the early 1960s as a pioneer of modern color photography.
Seeing the country from a car window, filling up in some unfamiliar gas station, eating at the local diner, drinking at the local bar, taking in the local color, causing some trouble, and recording the landmarks and landscapes became the formula for a new type of Homeric epic set on America’s highways and back roads
75 of his photos were exhibited at the Ney York Museum of Modern Art, in Feb - May 2018
Eggleston’s 1976 exhibition Color Photographs, held at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, was considered a pivotal moment in the development of color photography as a contemporary art form and widely credited with increasing recognition of the medium.
