MORALS OF VISION - WILLIAM EGGLESTON LEINEN

When William Eggleston's second artist's book Morals of Visions was first published in 1978 in
a limited edition of fifteen  only a handful of lucky people were able to obtain it  it has
since become a collectible rarity. That is now to change with this new Steidl edition  which
re-imagines Morals of Visions as a trade book for the general public. The original Morals of
Vision contains eight color coupler prints of Eggleston's archetypal still lifes  landscapes
and portraits which glorify the banal and have since changed the history of color photography.
There is no particular reason to search for meaning  Eggleston has said of his work in general
a sentiment in contrast with the title Morals of Vision which suggests that there are indeed
principles of a kind to be learnt from the images in this book. Yet the lessons in photos
including those of a broom leaning again a wall  green grain silos in the fading light  and an
off-center electric candle complete with fake wax  remain Eggleston's own ironic secret.
