Great Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is very informative of Walker Evans. It shows a wide variety of his work form portraiture to architecture, from the streets of New York to exotic places. It not only shows the works of art but also shows short blurbs about the place he was at and what was happening in his life; like why he was there and what he wanted out of the photo shoot. The part I like best about this book is that it references whose work he was admiring at the time. It also references his feelings, whether it was something he hated or something that was inspiring him. The print of the book is also very representational. It shows in great detail the contrast and depth of the works of art. I give the book 5 stars. I really enjoyed reading the book.
he looked around the world with intelligence.

signs, space, forms. These were his world and were his words. he found the special language with signs. and his language was the expression of his own world which would be woldwide. his hungry eyes saw the world through his angry intelligence with the pronteer.
