The artwork titled “Memphis,” created by William Eggleston in 1969, belongs to the genre of photography.
The artwork captures a serene and somewhat contemplative scene in an urban environment. A woman sits on a yellow concrete barrier at the edge of a road. She is dressed in a dark blue dress and black shoes, holding an open notebook and a pen, suggesting she could be writing or drawing. Her expression appears thoughtful. The background features bare trees and houses, illustrating a calm, suburban neighborhood perhaps during the early spring or late autumn, given the leafless trees. The overall composition, color scheme, and setting reflect the characteristic style of Eggleston’s work, emphasizing everyday scenes with a vivid, almost hyperreal quality.
