Summary:

At the end of the 1950s William Eggleston began to photograph around his home in Memphis using black-and-white 35mm film. Fascinated by the photography of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eggleston eventually developed his own style which later shaped his seminal work - an original vision of the American everyday with its icons of banality: supermarkets, diners, service stations, automobiles and ghostly figures lost in space. This book includes some exceptional as yet unpublished photographs, and displays the evolution, ruptures and above all the radicalness of Egglestons work when he began photographing in colour at the end of the 1960s.
