Editorial Review
Determined to "capture life has he saw it," Walker Evans (1903-1975) became one of the great photographers of the twentieth century, shooting in the New York City subways as well as the American heartland. His subjects included posters, billboards, and the Brooklyn Bridge--but he is best known for the stirring photographs he took of farmers during the Great Depression. This handsome volume offers a clearly written account of the legendary photographer's life and a verbal and visual portrait of the turbulent times in which he lived, illustrated with over 80 sumptuous duotone reproductions of his work.

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.
