Evans, Walker: Walker Evans: Lyric Documentary by Walker Evans, John T. Hill, ; 1. Ed.
Steidl, Göttingen. 2006. First edition, first printing. New, mint, unread; still originally shrink-wrapped in publisher's plastic foil. Hardcover with dustjacket. 237 x 244 mm. 260 pages. 200 tritone plates. Edited by John T. Hill. Walker Evans' work was spread over forty-six fitful and prolific years, yet in a scant two years, 1935-1936, he produced a singular body of work that defined his career. In the process he refined a hybrid style which combined documentation with sly personal comment. During that brief time he worked for the Farm Security Administration (previously the U.S. Resettlement Administration) photographing the consequences of the Great Depression. He delighted in being the artist traveling incognito as an artless photojournalist, but with the independence to satisfy his own designs. This volume presents those seminal images for the first time as a comprehensive body and in chronological order. These are prime examples of Evans' alchemy - his seemingly effortless transformation of mundane fact into sweeping lyricism. This series not only defines his mature style but also offers a path for artists of future generations. Evans has been called the most important American artist of his century. The impact of his vision reaches well beyond the province of photography." (from the publisher) Evans was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and was raised in Kenilworth, Illinois. He attended the Loomis School, Phillips Academy, and Williams College. After a short time working at the New York Public Library, he traveled to Paris, where he audited courses at the Sorbonne and immersed himself in the writings of Flaubert and Baudelaire. He returned to New York in 1927 and began to photograph seriously the following year. His photographs were used to illustrate an edition of his friend Hart Crane's The Bridge in 1930. The same year, at the suggestion of Lincoln Kirstein, he began to document early Victorian houses in New England and New York. These photographs were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1933. Kirstein and Evans collaborated on three books in the following years, and many early Evans images were published in Kirstein's journal Hound & Horn. Evans's first exhibition was held at the Julien Levy Gallery in 1932. That same year he provided illustrations for Carleton Beals's book The Crime of Cuba. In 1935 Evans made photographs of African art exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art for distribution to colleges and libraries by the General Education Board. During the Great Depression, Evans began to photograph for the Resettlement Administration, later known as the Farm Security Administration (FSA), documenting workers and architecture in the Southeastern states. In 1936 he traveled with the writer James Agee to illustrate an article on tenant farm families for Fortune magazine; the book Let Us Now Praise Famous Men came out of this collaboration. Throughout his career Evans contributed photographs to numerous publications, including three devoted solely to his work. In 1965 he left Fortune, where he had been a staff photographer for twenty years, to become a professor of photography and graphic design at Yale University. He remained in the position until 1974, a year before his death. During his lifetime Evans was the recipient of many awards. He was a Guggenheim Fellow in 1940 and received an honorary degree from Williams College in 1968. His photographs were exhibited all over the world, including several major shows at the Museum of Modern Art.***************Steidl, Göttingen. 2006. Erstausgabe. Originalausgabe.

Walker Evans: American Photographs 75 Jahre - Die Jubiläumsausgabe, Schirmer /Mosel Verlag Gm, ISBN: 9783829606110
Der lakonische Titel American Photographs täuschte schon damals über Gehalt und Anspruch eines auch sonst eher unscheinbar auftretenden Buchs hinweg, das zum Klassiker der Photoliteratur werden sollte und das wir 75 Jahre nach seinem ersten Erscheinen endlich in deutscher Sprache vorlegen. 1938 richtete das New Yorker Museum of Modern Art Walker Evans (1903 1975) als erstem Photographen in der Museumsgeschichte eine Einzelausstellung aus. Evans war damals kein Unbekannter mehr: Mit Bilderserien über viktorianische Bauten in New England und die politischen Unruhen auf Kuba 1933 hatte er sich bereits einen Namen als Dokumentarist gemacht, bevor er 1935 an die legendäre Farm Security Administration berufen wurde, eine Bundesbehörde, die im Rahmen von Roosevelts New Deal Hilfsprojekte für die von der Depression besonders hart getroffene Landbevölkerung entwickelte und dafür photographisches Arbeitsmaterial brauchte.§American Photographs, die Ausstellung, vor allem aber das Buch, stellte Walker Evans in eigener und sehr eigenwilliger Regie zusammen. Es wurde zu einer nüchternen, dabei hoch ästhetischen Zustandsbeschreibung Amerikas in den 30er Jahren, die langfristig ganze Generationen von Photographen, Schriftstellern und Filmemachern beeinflusst hat.§Lincoln Kirstein (1907 1996), Studienfreund und Förderer von Walker Evans, schrieb damals den begleitenden Essay, der auch in diese, vom MoMA initiierte Jubiläumsausgabe aufgenommen wurde.
