looking forward to the banality of genius

William Eggleston at the Whitney.
I have always been a huge fan of William Eggleston first for his provocative portraits.


Then for his saturated colors.


And now for his eye for all things banal.

As a man who was torn apart in the beginning of his career, called boring.
His work has the most surprising contemporary viewpoint.
He was way ahead of his time.
Which makes him all the more genius.

Where is she going? coming from? is she alone? has she left someone? is she meeting someone? is she beautiful? is she bored? No boring in the viewing here.
