William eggleston, the father of color photography

Brief introduction of william eggleston's life

William eggleston was born in Memphis, Tennessee on 1939. But shortly after his birth, he moved to neighboring Mississippi with his parents until he left in 1960. 1957, he got his first camera, a canon head-up camera. Two years later, he saw the book Decisive Moment by French photographer henri cartier bresson. He was deeply attracted by Bresson's photography and devoted himself to it. However, it is an indisputable fact that Eggleston benefited from Uebler Song's later snapshot photography style.

From/kloc-0 to the mid-1960s, Eggleston began to engage in color photography experiments. 1965 tried to shoot with color reversal film, 1967 began to shoot with color negative film. In this year, he came to new york, an art center, and had contacts with Lee Friedlander, Gary Vinogrand and Diane Arbus. This is the first time he has come into contact with excellent colleagues. He later became friends with all these people. 1969, he met John sakowski for the first time, when he was the director of MOMA photography department. Schakowski was very surprised by Eggleston's photo, so he persuaded MOMA to buy a photo of Eggleston. It was Schakowski who showed great respect to him and held a grand solo exhibition for him at the new york Museum of Modern Art, which made him famous in the American art world. At that time, Eggleston's special honor was the special treatment for successful photographers. Prior to this, Eggleston held only a few personal photography exhibitions in several professional galleries, which was little known in the American photography circle. 1974, he won the famous Guggenheim Prize, which greatly helped him to explore color photography. At the same time, he also got the opportunity to teach photography at the Carpenter Center of Harvard University.

1976, he held a solo exhibition of "william eggleston's Guide" in new york Museum of Modern Art, which was the first solo exhibition of color photography held by new york Museum of Modern Art. It was regarded as a watershed in the history of photography, symbolizing that color photography was recognized by the highest authority of art, and also established Eggleston's pioneering position in the field of modern color photography.

/kloc-During the 1980s, Eggleston traveled all over the world, covering America, Europe, Africa and Asia. 1989, his collection of color photography "The Forest of the Masses" was published, which was praised by The New York Times as the first masterpiece of color photography. 1992, he published a collection of ancient and modern color photos. From 1999 to 2000, the famous John Paul Getty Museum in California held an exhibition "william eggleston and Color Tradition" for him. Besides photography, Eggleston also spent a lot of time on painting. Eggleston is also a researcher. He used to study video technology at the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and is still engaged in the research and development of speaker technology. Now, Eggleston lives in Memphis, Tennessee.

Judging from the history of photography, before Eggleston, there were many photographers who explored photography in the form of color photography, such as Eliot Porter (190 1- 1990) and Ernst Haas (192 1-690). However, their understanding of color only stays at the level of regarding it as a means of modeling, and they use color to express themselves rather than the real world. Photographers of "new color photography" must first express the real world of "color". For "new color photography", the color image is just a result, and its purpose is to express the real world with color. As Schakowski pointed out in his article for the exhibition "A Guide to william eggleston", Eggleston's works are not interested in the color itself, but in the "colorful world itself". In Potter and Haas, color itself becomes an end. The difference between "new color photography" and previous color photography is that "new color photography" is intended to express the real world of "color", while photographers like Porter and Haas regard how to create color photography as their fundamental purpose.

The colors in Eggleston's photos reveal the color pedigree of American southern pop culture most thoroughly. The interior decoration in ordinary small hotels, the cemetery, the interior of the singer's private house, people's clothes, crops in sunny farmland and various colorful signs all convey rich information through his lens. Eggleston's exquisite and keen colors reproduce his personal understanding of the world through color expression, and also convey the color content of his time.
