In 1976, William Eggleston's Guide was the first one-man show of color photographs ever presented at The Museum of Modern Art, and the Museum's first publication of color photography. The reception was divided and passionate.

These photographs heralded a new mastery of the use of color as an integral element of photographic composition.
