    William Eggleston represents one of the most pivotal photographers in the 20th century in that it was his color work that changed the acceptance of color photography in the fine art world. He was one of the first photographers ever to have a complete show at MoMA in New York City. He and photography director John Szarkowsky changed the fine art world of photography with this show.

    Eggleston's work looks better the more you look at it. Not sure why, but it's true.

    excellent as usual Ted...my favorite quote from him : " A picture is what it is,and I've never noticed that it helps to talk about them, or answer specific questions about them, much less volunteer information in words. It wouldn't make any sense to explain them. Kind of diminishes them. People always want to know when something was taken, where it was taken, and, God knows, why it was taken. It gets really ridiculous. I mean, they're right there, whatever they are." ....exactly!

    I love his old American car photos and old streets, his colour shots really pop

    I wanted to learn more about Eggleston and did a youtube search. Of course you did a video about him too. Your channel is by far the best and most versatile channel about photography here on youtube.

    You have to see his pics blown up and framed to really appreciate them, the color is amazing!

    You never cease to amaze me with how easily you do these episodes without any sort of script. You are a natural, and your depth and breadth of knowledge on the subjects you discuss is absolute. Thanks Ted! (from a paying member)

    Your reviews of artists, and their art, are truly impressive. In my opinion, this type of video is not only your best TH-cam work, but your "The Art of Photography" videos are the best work anyone has done on the subject. Many times after a days work, I find myself re-watching these videos with a bourbon on the rocks. It is a bit like listening to a song you know and love. It is at the same time, familiar, peaceful and yet still inspirational. Your videos about art, truly are art in themselves. Big thumbs. I like these videos.

    I don’t know why but the picture of the kids trike really speaks to me! Genius!

    Eggleston's work definitely causes a strong reaction with most people, be it positive or negative. For me it's the latter, but love it or hate it (especially if you hate it, because we are quick to turn our backs to things we don't like), you should, in my opinion, learn to appreciate the fact that Eggleston's photographs got that reaction out of you. It's easier to appreciate art (I use the word "art" loosely) that you love than art that you hate, but the latter is (again, my opinion) just as important, or even slightly more important than the former. All aesthetic experiences do not have to be pleasant.

    Great show Ted! I like Eggleston for his minimal list approach, sense of color significance, and angles.
