His personal approach to the everyday and the mundane, combined with his rejection of formal photographic conventions, gave rise to the deceptive appearance of ‘randomness’ in his images. Eggleston introduced a new aesthetic, a new ‘democratic’ perspective, through which the ordinary and the mundane become extraordinary and significant. Like Robert Frank in the 1950s, William Eggleston radically reinvented photography of the real world” (G. Knape in Koetzle). – Inscribed by an unknown person „For Martin Miller, photographer Charles Rh…?“, near fine and clean copy.
