William Eggleston: Chromes

Extra

American photographer William Eggleston has released Chromes – a three-part series of books that shows his early experimentations with colour photography when black-and-white imagery was still the protocol for art photography.

Taken from 1969-74, the images depict scenes in Memphis, Tennessee that were created using Kodachrome and Ektachrome coloured film – the style of which is mimicked today by the popular Instagram smartphone app. The book is published by Steidl.

Susan Hiller
Susan Hiller Susan Hiller Cited as one of the most influential female artists of the past century, American Susan Hiller (b. 1940) was the subject of a recent retrospective at Tate Britain (February 1–May 15), highlighting her selective and powerful use of colour during her career to date. Choosing to work with a limited palette and often re-colouring photography and film, Hiller uses hue to alter perception and heighten the impact of her work. Stylus explores the London-based fine artist’s evolving relationship with colour.
