The Beautiful Mysterious: The Extraordinary Gaze of William Eggleston is an examination of the life and work of the artist widely considered to be the father of color photography. William Eggleston was born in 1939 and grew up in the Mississippi Delta town of Sumner. His innovative 1976 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York helped establish color photography as an artistic medium and has inspired photographers and artists around the world.

Edited by Ann J. Abadie, the catalog contains fifty-five Eggleston photographs, thirty-six that were featured in The Beautiful Mysterious exhibition at the University of Mississippi Museum from September 2016 to February 2017. Eggleston's longtime friend William Ferris, a celebrated folklorist, donated all the photographs to the Museum. The photographs range from 1962 into the 1980s, representing each of Eggleston's projects during that time. Some of the photographs are inscribed with Eggleston's rare handwritten notes about location, people, dates, and projects. Eight of Eggleston's early dye transfers are in the collection. Many of these works had not been on public display before this exhibition, including black-and-white images that are unique-copy single prints.

This is a penetrating examination of the influence of the Mississippi Delta and the American South on Eggleston's work and of Eggleston's influence on photography and other creative fields.

《美丽神秘：威廉-埃格尔斯顿的非凡目光》是对这位被广泛认为是彩色摄影之父的艺术家的生活和工作的考察。威廉-埃格尔斯顿出生于1939年，在密西西比河三角洲的萨姆纳镇长大。他于1976年在纽约现代艺术博物馆举办的创新展览帮助确立了彩色摄影作为一种艺术媒介的地位，并激励了全世界的摄影师和艺术家。

该目录由Ann J. Abadie编辑，包含55幅Eggleston的照片，其中36幅在2016年9月至2017年2月在密西西比大学博物馆举办的《美丽的神秘》展览中展出。埃格尔斯顿的长期朋友威廉-费里斯，一位著名的民俗学家，将所有照片捐赠给博物馆。这些照片从1962年到20世纪80年代，代表了埃格尔斯顿在那段时间的每一个项目。一些照片上刻有埃格尔斯顿罕见的关于地点、人物、日期和项目的手写笔记。馆藏中有8幅埃格尔斯顿的早期染料转移作品。这些作品中有许多在这次展览之前没有公开展出过，包括那些独一无二的黑白图像的单幅拷贝。

这是对密西西比三角洲和美国南方对埃格尔斯顿作品的影响以及埃格尔斯顿对摄影和其他创作领域的影响的一次深入研究。
