According to Alan Yentob (Creative Director BBC, Producer, “Imagine” – the attached video clip) William Eggleston “dragged color — kicking and screaming into the world of art photography.”
Born in 1939 in Sumner, Mississippi – Eggleston continues his work in what he describes as “banal and everyday.”
“I do have a personal discipline of only taking one picture of one thing, not two. I would take more than one and get so confused later and trying to figure out which is the best frame. I decided that was ridiculous and I was only going to take one frame.”
His great influence was Henri Cartier Bresson; “When you break down the frame, it had inherent geometry.”
According to the Whitney Museum of American Art, “by not censoring, rarely editing, and always photographing, Eggleston convinces us of the idea of the democratic camera. His work is psychologically complex and casually refined, bordering on kitsch and never conventionally beautiful.” (http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/WilliamEggleston)
