Wilkes Tucker The Beautiful Mysterious: The Extraordinary Gaze of
William Eggleston is an examination of the life and work of the
artist widely considered to be the father of color photography.
William Eggleston was born in 1939 and grew up in the Mississippi
Delta town of Sumner. His innovative 1976 exhibition at the Museum
of Modern Art in New York helped establish color photography as an
artistic medium and has inspired photographers and artists around
the world. Edited by Ann J. Abadie, the catalog contains fifty-five
Eggleston photographs, thirty-six that were featured in The
Beautiful Mysterious exhibition at the University of Mississippi
Museum from September 2016 to February 2017. Eggleston's longtime
friend William Ferris, a celebrated folklorist, donated all the
photographs to the Museum. The photographs range from 1962 into the
1980s, representing each of Eggleston's projects during that time.
Some of the photographs are inscribed with Eggleston's rare
handwritten notes about location, people, dates, and projects.
Eight of Eggleston's early dye transfers are in the collection.
Many of these works had not been on public display before this
exhibition, including black-and-white images that are unique-copy
single prints. This is a penetrating examination of the influence
of the Mississippi Delta and the American South on Eggleston's work
and of Eggleston's influence on photography and other creative
fields.
