William Eggleston&s Guide was the first one-man show of colour photographs ever presented at The Museum of Modern Art New York & the Museum&s first publication of colour photography The reception was divided & passionate The book & show unabashedly forced the art world to deal with colour photography a medium scarcely taken seriously at the time & with the vernacular content of a body of photographs that could have been but definitely weren&t some average person&s Instamatic pictures from the family album These photographs heralded a new mastery of the use of colour as an integral element of photographic composition Bound in a textured cover inset with a photograph of a tricycle & stamped with yearbook-style gold lettering the Guide contained 48 images edited down from 375 shot between 1969 & 1971 & displayed a deceptively casual actually superrefined look at the surrounding world Here are people landscapes & odd little moments in & around Eggleston&s home town of Memphis
