Eggleston bros unite!

>>3099806
Anyone know the story behind this photo? Was it just luck or did he have those cars parked there for the shoot?

>>3099862
I must be missing something. This looks utterly mundane...maybe a little garish, but fuck. Placement of the cars? FFS.

>>3099977
Doesn't do much for me either, I'm a total taste pleb though.

>>3099806
Either I'm too stupid or this is to Avant-Garde for me, all I see is a snapshot

>>3099980
Maybe some "egglestone bros" will enlighten us plebs.

>>3099982
Interesting colors, interesting perspective on a time long gone. Possible tourist appeal. That's all I see

Eggleston was famous for his use of color and photographing incredibly ordinary and typically uninteresting looking scenes. He's one of the first to use color in a way that would help bring it to the mainstream, because at the time the vast majority were sticking to black and white and felt that color was too commercial, not artistic.

The red cars help because they are warm and fit the color palette of the scene. If they were any cool or neutral color they'd disturb the scene and draw too much attention.

His stuff is clearly not everyone's cup of tea. In fact, he along with other photographers in the "New Topographics" movement were infamous for creating uninteresting photos and initially they received a lot of backlash. I think Ansel Adams even came out and basically called Eggleston's photography garbage. Regardless, the new topographers inspired a whole new genre and they are what informs the images you see of mundane looking scenes. The point was to try to find beauty within banality, by using abstract compositons and pleasing color palettes to engage the viewer rather than striking scenes of landscapes or shocking photo journalistic works.

Eggleston has nothing to do with New Topographics my man.

Probably because it looks like a demon

If you like Ren Hang then check out Li Wei - his work is a mixture of both photography and performance art, but you can see Ren Hang being inspired by him for sure.

well, he did good work.

when people talk about certain photographers being "4 plebs" i'm always curious what photographers they prefer or think are more worthwhile, or if they're just being hipsters

Anyone who thinks they're too cool for Ansel is the pleb. His photos rock and his books are still relevant.

Diane Arbus, the qt with a style too interesting for most of /p/ to appreciate

>>3100761
Adams didn't do many portraits, but the ones he did I really like.

artistic shots of dead cats in grungy alleyways.

aw shucks :3

Weston has always been a favorite of mine. I also like Sacha Dean Biyan and Helmut Newton, I like some Vivian Maier too. Story time.

>be at some feminist women's art expo in Miami with albino gf
>think i'll get to see some Bourke-White, maybe Dorothea Lange, maybe a Maier print (she had just been discovered not more than a couple years prior)
>walk inside
>everything is 3deep5me hipster bullshit
>some are literally cellphone snaps
>lots of feminazi (((art)))
>walk around to the back
>they have one fucking Maier print
>hidden in the back
>mfw the curator said there were 4 more prints in storage

It took all of my willpower to not deck that hoe on sight

>>3100874
I mean, Nan Goldin didn't haul around a 4x5. People use the tools available to them and create work that is relevant to them. I'm sorry you're not open to new art.

>>3099977
The cars match their background colors. Thats all i see that is obvious anyway

What do?

>>3101181
one of these things is not like the others

>>3101393
you're a pedo

>>3101395
Two are considered pedophiles for being male yet the other is considered an artist for being a woman? :^)

>>3101426
a mother taking pictures of her own children as they grow up is not at all the same as men grooming underage girls so they can take sexualized nudes of them.

all the same in the eyes of a pedo I suppose

>>3101434
youre right, its not at all the same. pimping your own kids for CP instead of random strangers is way worse.

>>3101460
>Dr. Aaron Esman, a child psychiatrist at the Payne Whitney Clinic believes that Mann is serious about her work and that she has “no intention to jeopardize her children or use them for pornographic images.” He says that the nude photographs don’t appear to be erotically stimulating to anyone but a “case-hardened pedophile or a rather dogmatic religious fundamentalist.” Mann states, "I didn't expect the controversy over the pictures of my children. I was just a mother photographing her children as they were growing up. I was exploring different subjects with them."

context is everything, bub

>>3101464
yeah, lets trust (((Dr. Aaron Esman))) paedo jew shrink from NY. pretty sure you posted that quote unironically, top goy.

>>3101468
