Documentary - Part Three - A colour Vision




WILLIAM EGGLESTON - THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART

William Eggleston is one of the most accomplished colour photographers and used colour with great
confidence.
Colour was more than just descriptive or decorative but a central place in the pictures content. They are photos of experience, not just shapes textures etc.
Egglestons photographs comprise of a remarkable and surprising commentary of contemporary American life, a personal vision.  He made his pictures with a deeply felt expression of his vision and intentions.

His images can be seen here ..
