Product details
Artist: William Eggleston
William Eggleston is a pioneer of color photography who helped establish its status as art at a time when art critics regarded only black-and-white photography as art. Eggleston’s photographs are about more than simply choosing color and increasing the saturation of color images. His color photographs are so striking, and hold such artistic significance, because he captures utterly ordinary details and scenes from daily life, yet enables the people, places, and things around us—even those that seem unremarkable or faded—to transcend the everyday and invite entirely new ways of thinking and seeing.

An anniversary poster for Los Alamos, a series of photographs taken between 1966 and 1974 by American photographer William Eggleston (born 1937). Eggleston was one of the artistic pioneers of color photography and became a controversial figure in the art world from the very beginning of his career. The Los Alamos series takes its name from a 2004 Eggleston exhibition in Louisiana.
Eggleston likes to call his photographs “democratic images”: the camera depicts everything with equal accuracy, and no subject is better or worse than another. Everything passes.
Yet Eggleston’s seemingly random subjects, almost meaningless in themselves, are always just the starting point for his artistic interpretation. During the development process, he manipulates and intensifies the image’s colors, so that the finished photograph—however mundane its subject—takes on a strangely unsettling, almost supernatural beauty.
