Walker Evans
First edition of Walker Evans. First impression. Medium format hardback in near fine condition. Some minor soft bumps to the corners of the boards and dust jacket.
About
A tenant farmer's deprivation-lined face. Antebellum homes that have seen better days. The display windows of small-town main streets. The early subway commuter. Billboards. The images made by photographer Walker Evans (1903-1975) are icons of national identity that have shaped Americans' views of themselves and directly influenced important currents of modern art. This major catalogue - published to accompany a retrospective exhibition originating at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and traveling to San Francisco and Houston - presents the full range of Evans' work, from his 1920s black-and-white street scenes of anonymous urban dwellers to the color photographs of signs and letter forms from his final years.
