Eggleston's geometrically complex compositions often employ unusual perspectives, and his realistic portrayal of everyday objects, particularly those of the rural American South, was at first considered to be lacking in artistry. He created a sensation, however, with his first major solo exhibition, which opened (1976) at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City, and later traveled to several other museums. Also in 1976, he was commissioned by Rolling Stone magazine to do a series of photographs in presidential candidate Jimmy Carter's hometown, Plains, Ga. His publications include Troubled Waters (1980), The Democratic Forest (1989), and Los Alamos (2003).
