Description

Walker Evans: A Photographer's Vision. Renowned art historian Svetlana Alpers explores the creative approach of celebrated photographer Walker Evans, delving into his distinctive photographs and uncovering rich parallels with literary and cultural figures from around the world. Alpers examines how Evans made his photographs, including his camera choices and willingness to edit multiple versions of a shot. She also places his writings in conversation with his photographs, highlighting the vital role of his dual love of text and images. By exploring Evans's travels abroad and expansive literary and artistic tastes, Alpers demonstrates how these influences informed his quintessentially American photographic style. This book offers a magisterial account of a great twentieth-century artist, urging us to look anew at the act of seeing the world.
