The Outlands, Selected Works - William Eggleston III

William Eggleston: The Outlands, Selected Works - Rachel Kushnerová, Robert Slifkin, William Eggleston III A selection of nearly one hundred previously unseen images from the 1960s and 1970s by the pioneer of color photography, William Eggleston.The Outlands, a series of photographs taken by Eggleston between 1969 and 1974, establishes the groundbreaking visual themes and lexicon that the artist would continue to develop for decades to come. The work offers a journey through the mythic and evolving American South, seen through the artistÂ’s lens: vibrant colors and a profound sense of nostalgia echo throughout EgglestonÂ’s breathtaking oeuvre. His motifs of signage, cars, and roadside scenes create an iconography of American vistas that inspired a generation of photographers. With its in-depth selection of unforgettable images—a wood-paneled station wagon, doors flung open, parked in an expansive rural setting; the artistÂ’s grandmother in the moody interior of their familyÂ’s Sumner, Mississippi home—The Outlands is emblematic of EgglestonÂ’s dynamic, experimental practice. The breadth of work reenergizes his iconic landscapes and forms a new perspective of the American South in transition. Accompanying the ninety brilliant Kodachrome images and details, a literary, fictional text by the critically acclaimed author Rachel Kushner imagines a story of hitchhikers trekking through the Deep South. New scholarship by Robert Slifkin reframes the art-historical significance of EgglestonÂ’s oeuvre, proposing affinities with work by Marcel Duchamp, Dan Graham, Jasper Johns, and Robert Smithson. A foreword by William Eggleston III offers important insights into the process of selecting and sequencing this series of images. z kategorie Knihy | Cizojazyčná literatura | English literature | Nonfiction | Art, Architecture and Photography od David Zwirner naleznete ne e-shopu KnihyDobrovsky.cz!
