William Eggleston's Guide, a photo book by William Eggleston, a pioneer of American new color photography. It is no exaggeration to say that this book, first published in 1976, was the first photo book to recognize color photography as art. Influenced by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans, Eggleston began to aspire to become a photographer in earnest, and was one of the first to work on color photography in the 1960s, when monochrome was the mainstream. Originally from the state of Mississippi in the southern United States, Eggleston paints the ubiquitous scenery of his hometown and edits the vanishing original scenery and history of America as if it were a personal story. It was projected. The 1975 exhibition curated by MoMA's famous photo director John Szarkowski caused a great response, and since then Eggleston's name has become known throughout the United States, and the artistic recognition of color photography has expanded. did. A collection of historical photographs full of outstanding taste and deep taste. 2016 Reprint version.
