5.0 out of 5 stars Secret and Excellent Documentary of America, January 5, 2003
By 
Duncan Wong (EyesCoffee.com from Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walker Evans: The Lost Work (Hardcover)
'The Lost Work' refers to Walker Evans's own private collection of his B/W images - 'the prints that he chose to keep in his own print boxes for posterity'. He was probably the greatest documentary artist America has ever known. It presents the faces and lives of Americans in the late 1930s and then to the mid 1970s.

From the introduction, we can see how a photographer had struggled for his lifetime for acquiring support, and eventually his works could 'enter' museum or collectors' hand during the end of his life. Behind the images, you may have a deeper insight of this photographer. From his life, it seems very contradictory between his character and his images.

The printing of this book is excellent.
