WALKER EVANS, THE MAGAZINE WORK - David Campany
Walker Evans was one of the most important and influential artists of the 20th century, producing a body of photographs that continues to shape our understanding of the modern era. He worked in all genres and formats, in black and white and color, but two passions remained constant: literature and the printed page.
While his photographic books are among the most important in the history of photography, Evans' more ephemeral pages remain largely unknown. In small avant-garde publications and mainstream titles such as Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Architectural Forum, Life and Fortune, he produced innovative, independent journalism, often setting his own assignments, editing, writing and designing his pages. Presenting many of his photographic essays in their entirety, Walker Evans: The Magazine Work brings together the unwritten history of this work, allowing us to see how he protected his autonomy, made a living and found an audience far beyond the museum and gallery.
