Many argue that William Eggleston’s unique visual practice single-handedly propelled colour photography into the realm of fine art. His images of cars and car parks are a cornerstone of his Americana-infused landscapes. A close look at the present image reveals a playful twist, an optical illusion. While the background of the image seems to be dominated by a sweeping blue sky, one discovers that it is in fact a painted wall, likely part of a film set.
