walker evans photos of the real america,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Walker Evans: Photographer of America (Hardcover)
this collection of photos from the "other America" has some of the most real photos I have seen. If you enjoy seeing people being themselves and coping with the business of living on very little and really finding an "American Dream" that would be considered sub poverty to us now then check out this book. Like Dorothea Lange, Evans goes away from the mainstream to find America, and he shows it to us. A real necessity for any love of US culture or history.

WALKER EVANS: PHOTOGRAPHER OF AMERICA by Thomas Nau
In his book, WALKER EVANS: PHOTOGRAPHER OF AMERICA, Thomas Nau tells the story of Walker Evans' fascinating life in a manner both succinct and thorough while captivating his reader with well placed examples of Evans' photographs. The book is organized efficiently and beautifully with Evans' most famous work paired with each chapter. The chapters are arranged both chronologically and geographically and give the reader a clear picture of Evans' life, career, and the philosophy that was instrumental in both. This is an excellent book for anybody who is interested in American art and photography and would like to learn more about this innovative man's role in changing both fields. |
