Morals of Vision, 1978

New York: Caldecott Chubb, 1978. - 8 chromogenic prints, bound into a 4to volume with slipcase; each approximately 8 x 5 3/8in. (20.3 x 13.8cm.) // Morals of Vision by William Eggleston, created in 1978, is a chromogenic photograph that captures the subtle beauty of everyday objects through Eggleston’s pioneering use of color photography. This image features a simple broom leaning against a sunlit wall, casting soft shadows that emphasize its textured bristles and wooden handle. The warm tones of the wall and floor complement the natural hues of the broom, creating a serene and contemplative composition. Eggleston's focus on mundane subjects elevates them to art, highlighting the poetic resonance of overlooked details in ordinary settings. This work is part of a collection published by Caldecott Chubb in New York, presenting a quiet yet powerful meditation on the aesthetics of the commonplace.
