New York - MoMA shows Evans’ Depression-era photos
Print Edition
From a photograph of an Alabama cotton picker’s wife to scenes of urban poverty, the photographs of Walker Evans, on display in a new exhibit at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), shaped Americans’ view of the Great Depression.
The exhibit, which runs through January 26, marks the 75th anniversary of Evans’ one-person photography exhibit, the first in MoMA’s history.
It also coincides with the publication of an anniversary edition of his landmark book, “American Photographs.”
“Evans was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century,” said Sarah Meister, the exhibit’s curator. “His cool, pure vision revealed photography’s lyric potential and inspired generations of photographers and other visual artists.”
