    Walker Evans(1903–1975) was one of the most of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century. His elegant, crystal-clear photographs have inspired several generations of artists, from Helen Levitt and Robert Frank to Diane Arbus, and Lee Friedlander. The progenitor of the documentary tradition in American photography, his photographs translated a historically inflected vision into an enduring art. His principal subject was ordinary life—the indigenous expressions of a people found in roadside stands, cheap cafés, advertisements, and small-town main streets. For fifty years, from the late 1920s to the early 1970s, Evans recorded the American scene with the nuance of a poet creating an encyclopedic visual catalogue of modern America in the making. Between 1934 and 1965, Evans contributed more than 400 photographs to 45 articles published in Fortune magazine.

    Artist Bio:

    Walker Evans (1903 - 1975) was an American photographer and photojournalist best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) documenting the effects of the Great Depression. Much of Evans's work from the FSA period uses the large-format, 8×10-inch view camera. He said that his goal as a photographer was to make pictures that are "literate, authoritative, transcendent".
