Contributions by Megan Abbott, Michael Almereyda, Kris Belden-Adams, Maude Schuyler Clay, William Dunlap, W. Ralph Eubanks, William Ferris, Marti A. Funke, Lisa Howorth, Amanda Malloy, Richard McCabe, Emily Ballew Neff, Robert Saarnio, and Anne Wilkes Tucker 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.

The Hollywood press loved to refer to Capucine as a modern day Cinderella. She was a gorgeous French girl who had success written all over her. In Paris, she began modeling for Givenchy and Dior in the late 1940s. In the summer of 1956, Capucine was bored and decided to give New York a try. While there, she caught the eye of Charles K. Feldman, one of the most prestigious agents in Hollywood. He signed her to a contract and 'Cap' was off to California to learn English and acting. She first co-starred in "Song Without End" a film about the pianist Franz Liszt. Her second effort was a wild, gold rush adventure tale 'North To Alaska' with John Wayne. Then, with Barbara Stanwyck, she made the controversial movie "Walk On The Wild Side" shot in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Her fourth film was "The Pink Panther' with Peter Sellers, David Niven, Robert Wagner, and Claudia Cardinale. Capucine played Inspector Clouseau's cheating, scheming wife Simone. Directors loved having Capucine in their pictures because she had a fabulous sense of humor and rivaled David Niven for side-splitting practical jokes. At the same time, she was a true professional on the set. Capucine made thirty-six films and was involved in seventeen TV productions, but because of birth problems, her love life went poorly and even her best friend Audrey Hepburn couldn't save her.
