	Walker Evans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Walker Evans (November 3, 1903 – April 10, 1975) was an American photographer made famous by his work for the Farm Security Administration documenting the effects of the Great Depression.
		Evans was a passionate reader and writer and, from his years as a staff writer and then editor at Fortune magazine, a skilled prose stylist.
		Evans first experimented with the photo booth self portrait in New York in 1929, using it to detach his own artistic presence from his imagery, craving after the true objectivity of what he later described as the "ultimate purity" of the "record method".

	Walker Evans' Images (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Evans' success was that his images appear to be objective--do not forget, though, that all photographs are subjective--they are the photographer's evaluations/interpretations of the world before his eye.
		Evans was the least prolific of all the FSA photographers--this is a testament to his excellence as a photographer, technically, as well as aesthetically--for he knew what he wanted the image to look like, and did not have to make numerous attempts at getting the image he wanted.
		Evans' first attraction (before Photography) was literature, and you will notice that his images have a literary quality to them--that is, that the figures, the places, and the subjects seem to be representative of the greater context within which they exist, i.e., America--not just the specific subject itself.

	Walker Evans and photography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Walker Evans (1903-75), whose work is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, was an American photographer who produced some remarkable images, particularly in the 1930s and 1940s.
		Evans rejected all or most of that, but is it likely that his response to the growth of large-scale industry, the rise of the great cities with their ethnically diverse populations and the political and social conflicts of the 1930s would not have had some ambivalence to it?
		Evans was able to create such a “marriage of his own mind with the object before him” that he gave something essential to his subjects.[29] The Burroughs family members are not, in these photographs, objects of social consciousness.

		Nor was Evans all that gripped by the onset of the Depression.
		But as appealing as Evans was to the budding counterculture, his "sweet tooth for the aristocratic" grew stronger as he grew older.

		Evans was dedicated to using the camera to photograph things as they really were; convinced that the details of the image would speak more eloquently than any contrived artistic statement could.
		Walker Evans' work for the federal Resettlement Administration, which eventually led to his partnership with Agee, came about primarily due to his contacts in the Greenwich Village art world who had already joined the government team.
		She examines the technical aspects of Evans' work with sensitivity and detail, noting how much of the power of his imagery depended upon the unique methods and materials he used to develop his negatives, as well as on his precise techniques behind the camera.

		Evans came to the Resettlement Administration after doing some part-time work at the Department of the Interior, and his ideas about the systematic documentation of American culture influenced Stryker during the early period of the Historical Section.
		The many influential photographs Evans made during this period were described by the critic John Szarkowski in 1973 as "poetic uses of bare-faced facts, facts presented with such fastidious reserve that the quality of the picture seemed identical to that of the subject."
		Evans must have made two or three passes up and down the block, alternately photographing the apartment houses on the sunny side and the people in the shade.

		Evans went on a yacht trip to the South Seas in 1932, the same year that his photographs were shown at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York.
		Evans had a fascination with the newness of New York lashing up against and devouring the old city of Walt Whitman and Herman Melville; construction was everywhere, and Evans captured the rapidly changing Manhattan skyline from the Brooklyn Bridge, revelling in the boundless energy and modernity that epitomize New York, then as now.

		The progenitor of the documentary tradition in American photography, Evans had the extraordinary ability to see the present as if it were already the past and to translate that knowledge and historically inflected vision into an enduring art.
		Walker Evans was born in 1903 in Saint Louis, Missouri.
		In his lifetime, Evans gave only grudging acknowledgment to a handful of antecedents and contemporaries whose efforts he felt bore some relation to his own; what the exact nature of that relationship was in each case is not as simple a matter as the word "influence" might suggest.

		Walker Evans, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's catalog to its current major retrospective, is a rock-solid work providing biographical, historical, and visual accounts of the artist's life and work.
		Evans touched people with his photographs because he merged his images with their "real lives." The question of whether other artists using other means were influenced by Evans's work or simply liberated to offer a visual vernacular landscape is incidental here.
		Walker Evans & Company focuses on Evans as a central figure in the arts of the 1920s and 30s, and includes works in photography and other mediums that influenced Evans or were influenced by him, or which resonate in a significant way with aspects of his imagery, sensibility, and style.

	Walker Evans: The Getty Museum Collection (Reviewed)
		Walker Evans (1903-1975) started photographing New York City in 1927, recording its patterns and people during the day and working as a clerk on Wall Street at night.
		Evans got the Federal Government to pay for most of this work, which, in October 1938, formed the basis of the first ever one-man show of photography at the Museum of Modern Art.
		What I like about Walker Evans, and what I like to think resulted in his being adopted by Yale, was how articulate he was about photography.

		Evans comes across as possessed by a brave and all-encompassing vision; like his work, he was straightforward, decisive and highly intelligent.
		Evans photographed Manhattan construction sites, Tahitian beaches, workers in Havana, American neo-Gothic architecture, gas stations in West Virginia, barber shops in Mississippi, tenant farmers in Alabama, flood refugees in Arkansas, New York subway riders and a range of other subjects that documented American life, urban and rural, affluent and impoverished, starting in the mid-1920's.
		He presents Evans and his art as exemplifying traits and effects summed up by the photographer's primary supporter -- the indefatigable editor, writer, curator and ballet impresario Lincoln Kirstein -- who mounted exhibitions of the work, wrote a pivotal book about it and brought it to the attention of the larger world.

		Evans was by no means alone in effecting this radical revision in the way we observe the objects and environments of modern experience, but his was the most incisive contribution to the art that resulted from it, an art that changed the very conception of what a photograph might be.
		Born in 1903, Evans belonged to the same generation as literary talents as diverse as W.H. Auden, George Orwell, and James Agee, with all of whom his outlook on art and life had something in common.
		Walker was deeply conflicted about Steiglitz, and often contradictory in his avowals and denials on the subject.

		Born in St. Louis in 1903, Walker Evans was raised in Kenilworth, a Chicago suburb, and in Toledo, Ohio.
		Evans found in these subjects an authentic expression of what was most American about America, and his lasting achievement was to express that sense of indigenous national character in his photographs.
		From 1938 to 1941 Evans photographed people in the New York subways, "the ladies and gentlemen of the jury." Caught unaware by a camera hidden inside Evans's jacket, the faces of New York's underground travelers are worthy of Dickens or Daumier.

		Evans' anti-romantic approach and existential sensibility were deeply influential for subsequent generations of photographers and curators; he established a beachhead for socially engaged, documentary-style art photography that made the work of Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Diane Arbus and William Eggleston possible," notes Douglas Nickel.
		Evans approached photography with a writer's eye, imbuing meaning to objects around him and revealing his subjects directly, honestly and without artifice.
		Furthermore, Evans' example proved to be of undeniable consequence for the many artists who followed him; the second part of this exhibition examines their own negotiation of personal expression and his precedent.
