William
Eggleston, born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1937 is regarded as the “inventor
of colour photography” since his spectacular exhibition at the Museum
of Modern Art in New York in 1976. In contrast to other photographers
he uses colour in a targeted way rather to arouse the observer’s
emotions and not so much to present a detailed description of the objects
photographed. His motifs present everyday life in the southern states
of the USA, although they go far beyond the objects depicted and are of
universal character. foto: ohne Titel, aus der Serie "Los
