The history of photography is illustrated with a few best hits from a photographer's life work, repeated to the point of being obligatory. (Think Weston, pepper 30 or Evans' family portrait that graces the cover of this book.) But here is a wide enough selection from a broad enough range of space and time to more carefully evaluate the photographer's abilities. For the hour or two it takes you to browse through this book, you'll be transported back to a time when people looked old beyond their years, paint was hard to find, and dust was everywhere. Yet through the magic of photography, you'll be pulled into these pictures and feel drawn to the people and places they depict. What would it have been like to eat at one of the restaurants shown here, for instance? How many of the young children are still alive, in their late seventies or eighties, and do they know they are captured here forever? sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
The photography of Walker Evans (1903-75) is introduced in a new, redesigned and expanded edition of Aperture's classic book from its Masters of Photography series. Evans helped define documentary photography and is considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. He captured the American experience from the late 1920s to the early 1970s with graceful articulation. From 1935 to 1937, 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, culminating in the revolutionary 1941 photobook Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, with text by James Agee. 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 image commentary to this volume, which includes some of Evans' best known and loved photographs.
