Most us of know William Eggleston through his photography. Today I wanted to share a few drawings from his 2009 interview with Melissa Harris for Aperture Magazine.  Referencing Gerhard Richter and Ed Ruscha as his favorite artists and influences from Willem de Kooning and Vasily Kandinsky, it seems easy to connect the visual dots when looking at these works. The color and movement are balanced and full of life, much like his other work.

“When I get a new set of prints, I always initially look at them upside-down, because that helps me to look at them when they are right-side-up. I always notice something that I wouldn’t otherwise see.”
