Walker Evans & Company


Book Description

This catalog features Walker Evans in light of the larger theme of vernacular style, a style of photography--and paintings are included here too--that is descriptive in its intent, what Galassi calls "plainspoken" in his preface. The catalog (it's slightly oversize at 10x11.5") includes over 300 images in this style, from Evans and his contemporaries, including Edward Weston, Paul Strand, and Berenice Abbott, to works from the 1980s and 1990s by David Goldblatt, Lee Friedlander, and Thomas Struth, among others. MOMA's curator of photography, Peter Galassi, provides a lengthy introduction on Evans, his influences, and the artistic style he created. There is no index. c. Book News Inc.
