Born and raised in Mississippi and Tennessee, William Eggleston began taking pictures during the 1960s after seeing Henri Cartier-Bresson's The Decisive Moment. In 1966 he changed from black and white to color film, perhaps to make the medium more his own and less that of his esteemed predecessors. John Sarkowski, when he was curator of photography at the Museum of Modern Art, called Eggleston the "first color photographer, " and certainly the world in which we consider a color photograph as art has changed because of Eggleston.
From 1966 to 1971, Eggleston would occasionally use a two and one quarter inch format for photographs. These are collected and published here for the first time, adding more classic Eggleston images to photography's color canon.

William Eggleston, 2 1/4
He does very odd things with composition, things I admire even if I barely understand them. Frequently something looks like a detail from a wider shot, there are things half-occupying the edges. Or the POV is dramatically low, giving the clutter of shabby life a height and grandeur. Landscapes and interiors usually empty, occasionally capturing a lone individual, rarely grabbing people but often charging them with all manner of tensions. Color, as I understand, is the big deal here, and it is interesting how often the contrasts are little or none, monochromatic interiors, greygreenbrown landscapes, red ceilings or barns. A casual glance through could easily arouse disgust at the common or low subject matter, but there is a good deal of beauty in ugly things, just as the reverse is true, if you are willing to let the eye linger and forget the familiarity you brought with you.
