Walker Evans
by Walker Evans
Walker Evans captured the American experience from the late 1920s to the early 1970s. From 1935 to 1937, Walker Evans documented rural America during the Great Depression while working for the Farm Security Administration. Much of Evans' work from that period focused on three sharecropping families in southern Alabama. His enduring appreciation for inanimate, seemingly ordinary objects and the vernacular as subject matter is evident in his photographs of shop windows, rural churches, billboards and architecture. Photography historian David Campany contributes a new introduction and commentary on the images in a redesigned and expanded edition of Aperture's classic book from its Masters of photography series.
