Antebellum homes that have seen better days. The display windows of small-town main streets. The early subway commuter. Billboards. The images made by photographer Walker Evans (1903-1975) are icons of national identity that have shaped Americans' views of themselves and directly influenced important currents of modern art. This major catalogue--published to accompany a retrospective exhibition originating at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and traveling to San Francisco and Houston--presents the full range of Evans's work from his 1920s black-and-white street scenes of anonymous urban dwellers to the color photographs of signs and letter forms from his final years. Soon after he returned from Paris to New York City in 1927 Evans began contributing to the development of American photography. He captured the substance of people and buildings with a spare elegance that is utterly unpretentious. His gaze is serious but often amused as well direct yet never simple. During the 1930s Evans traveled throughout the South to chronicle the effects of economic hardship. The time that he and writer James Agee spent with Alabama sharecropper families yielded an evocative honest record of the Great Depression which was published in book form as Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1941). Evans then turned his lens back on New Yorkers photographing subway riders with a camera hidden in his coat. He continued to influence American self-perception as staff photographer for Fortune from 1945 until he accepted a professorship at Yale in 1965. Evans--who always chose art over what he criticized as artiness--wrote in Photography (1969) "Whether he is an artist or not the photographer is a joyous sensualist for the simple reason that the eye traffics in feelings not in thoughts. This man is in effect a voyeur by nature; he is also reporter tinkerer and spy." Although his work has received many awards been enshrined in the best museums and been exhibited on several continents Evans's total corpus is only now being fully examined. This important book revises our appreciation of Evans by presenting previously unknown material in an accessible context. Essays by Maria Morris Hambourg Jeff L. Rosenheim Doug Eklund and Mia Fineman offer novel insights into the sources and legacy of Evans's work. The result is a superb exploration of what was achieved by one of our finest mostly deeply American artists. 当店利用時のご注意・当店の商品は原則として、「個人輸入」としての取り扱いになり、アメリカ合衆国から直接お客様のもとへお届けいたします。商品の配送手続きのために、アメリカ合衆国の事業者へお客様の注文情報が提供されます。注文情報の提供について同意いただいた上でご注文ください。アメリカ合衆国の個人情報保護法制等について確認する場合は、こちらのページ「https://corp.rakuten.co.jp/privacy/data-transfers.html」をご参照ください。・関税・輸入消費税が課税される場合があります。・課税額はご注文時には確定しておらず、通関時に確定しますので、商品の受け取り時に着払いでお支払いください。・個人輸入される商品は、全てご注文者自身の「個人使用・個人消費(日本に居住する者に寄贈される物で、当該寄贈を受ける者の個人的な使用に供される場合を含みます。)」が前提となります。第三者への譲渡・転売が法令で禁止されるもの(医薬品、医薬部外品、化粧品等を含みますが、これに限られません。)もございますのでご注意下さい。・商品お届けまでに、10日間程度かかります。
