Скачать или смотреть Walker Evans: American Photographs — Photobooks for scholars

Walker Evans: American Photographs was first published in 1938. This is part of my "photobooks for scholars" series of videos showcasing books from my personal library which hold invaluable information for students of the art of photography.

Analyze the following photographs to gain better understanding of the art. This book is more like a literary novel than a traditional photobook. Each photograph is a sentence which describes a section of American life and even the culture itself; photographs are presented in a precise order/sequence akin to how sentences are ordered to construct a cohesive story. Don't just look; read the photographs out loud based on their literal subject and meaning.

Walker Evans is a necessary study for those pursuing American photography; he is the godfather and true predecessor of greats such as Robert Frank and Garry Winogrand—and every following American master.
