Stephen Shore, Amarillo, Texas 1974
He was a visionary for color photography. He paved the way for this project both by color and living in Amarillo. He believed in being real. Real in the sense that he was never going to be like Andy Warhol and "potboil" or continue to make the same work over and over to please his audience. Art is something more. "Art is solving problems, facing challenges, exploring the world, and exploring the medium not about making beautiful pictures; pictures are a by-product of this exploration." (Stephen Shore, SFMOMA, 2012).
