William Eggleston's Guide was the first one-man show of color photographs ever presented at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Museum's first publication of color photography. The reception was divided and passionate. The book and show unabashedly forced the art world to deal with color photography, a medium scarcely taken seriously at the time, and with the vernacular content of a body of photographs that could have been but definitely weren't some average American's Instamatic pictures from the family album. These photographs heralded a new mastery of the use of color as an integral element of photographic composition. Bound in a textured cover inset with a photograph of a tricycle and stamped with yearbook-style gold lettering, the Guide contained 48 images edited down from 375 shot between 1969 and 1971 and displayed a deceptively casual, actually super-refined look at the surrounding world. Here are people, landscapes, and odd little moments in and around Eggleston's hometown of Memphis--an anonymous woman in a loudly patterned dress and cat's eye glasses sitting, left leg slightly raised, on an equally loud outdoor sofa; a coal-fired barbecue shooting up flames, framed by a shiny silver tricycle, the curves of a gleaming black car fender, and someone's torso; a tiny, gray-haired lady in a faded, flowered housecoat, standing expectant, and dwarfed in the huge dark doorway of a mint-green room whose only visible furniture is a shaded lamp on an end table.

 

The adoption of color photography, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, by William Eggleston, Joel Meyerowitz and Stephen Shore was not without precedent. Interesting work had already been done in this medium by numerous photographers, including Paul Outerbridge in the thirties, and Keld-Helmer Petersen in the forties. Nonetheless, perhaps because of its commercial associations, color photography had been slow to find acceptance in the art world. As such, it and this catalogue which accompanied it are often credited with legitimatizing color photography for the serious American museum attending audience. John Szarkowski noted Eggleston's 'ability to monumentalize the minutiae of mundane life' and boldly declared that 'as pictures, these seem to me to be perfect.'
