Walker Evans at Work

Through the evidence of trial and error in successive images and through Evans's own words this important book reveals how a major American artist actually worked. The 747 photographs document chronologically his choice of subject and his lifelong technical experimentation. Page by page, the reader experiences what Evans saw, what he recorded and how he altered what he recorded to achieve the image he intended. One sees the same subject photographed with different lenses and in different lights; and spreads from Vogue and Fortune
