"I once heard William Eggleston say that the nominal subjects of his pictures were no more than a pretext for the making of color photographsthe Degas position. I did not believe him, although I can believe that it might be an advantage to think so, or to pretend to think so. To me it seems that the pictures reproduced here are about the photographer's home, about his place, in both important meanings of that word. One might say about his identity" (John Szarkowski, pp. 5-6). "As pictures . these seem to me perfect: irreducible surrogates for the experience they pretend to record, visual analogues for the quality of one life, collectively a paradigm of a private view, a view one would have thought ineffable, described here with clarity, fulness, and elegance" (ibid., p. 14).
