Walker Evans
A Life’s Work
Walker Evans
Walker Evans (1903–1975) was one of the great personalities of 20th century photography. In the half century of his creative activity, the photographer documented in sober documentary fashion a uniquely authentic picture of America. He first achieved public acclaim with his documentation of poverty in the United States caused by the Great Depression in the 1930s. The exhibition presents over 200 original prints from the years 1928 to 1974. It is a broad survey of Evans’s 50-year career featuring some of his iconic images and an assortment of rarely exhibited photographs.
