Walker Evans helped define documentary photography and is
considered one of the most influential artists of the twentieth
century. He captured the American experience from the late 1920s to
the early 1970s with graceful articulation. From 1935 to 1937, he
captured rural America during the Great Depression while working
for the Farm Security Administration. Much of Evans's work from
that period focused on three sharecropping families in the South,
culminating in the revolutionary book Let Us Now Praise Famous Men,
with text by James Agee (1941). His enduring appreciation for
inanimate objects and the vernacular as subject matter is evident
in his photographs of shop windows, rural churches, billboards,
architecture, and displays of American culture as he saw it.
Included in this publication is a new, insightful text by historian
David Campany, presenting this definitive work to new audiences.
Walker Evans (born in St. Louis, Missouri, 1903; died in New Haven,
Connecticut, 1975) was the forerunner of the documentary tradition
in American photography and created an unparalleled body of work
throughout his life. His renowned work is in permanent collections
throughout the world and has been the subject of several
retrospectives, including at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and
Museum of Modern Art, New York.
