Moore, Starburst: Color Photography in America 1970-1980, Ostfildern: Hatje Cantz, 2010, pl. 127 p. 150 Artist Bio William Eggleston American • 1939 William Eggleston's highly saturated, vivid images, predominantly capturing the American South, highlight the beauty and lush diversity in the unassuming everyday. Although influenced by legends of street photography Robert Frank and Henri Cartier-Bresson Eggleston broke away from traditional black and white photography and started experimenting with color in the late 1960s. At the time, color photography was widely associated with the commercial rather than fine art — something that Eggleston sought to change. His 1976 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, Color Photographs, fundamentally shifted how color photography was viewed within an art context, ushering in institutional acceptance and helping to ensure Eggleston's significant legacy in the history of photography.
