Synopsis
Walker Evans was one of the most important and influential artists of the twentieth century, who produced a body of photographs that continue to shape our understanding of the modern era. He worked in every genre and format, in black and white and in color, but two passions were constant: literature and the printed page. While his photographic books are among the most influential in the medium's history, Evans' more ephemeral pages remain largely unknown. From small avant-garde publications to mainstream titles such as Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Architectural Forum, Life and Fortune he produced innovative and independent journalism, often setting his own assignments, editing, writing and designing his pages. Presenting many of his photo-essays in their entirety, Walker Evans: The Magazine Work assembles the unwritten history of this work, allowing us to see how he protected his autonomy, earned a living and found audiences far beyond the museum and gallery.

Review
[A] revelation.... beautifully printed. If anything is going to prompt a reconsideration of Evans’ engagement with magazines, it will be this meticulously researched and highly readable investigation.... The range of Evans’ magazine work is hugely impressive and now it has been gathered together it seems all the stranger that curatorial oversight led to its neglect. (Rick Poynor Eye Magazine)

hardcover. Condition: Perfetto (Mint). Prima edizione (First Edition). A cura di David Campany. Completamente illustrato con fotografie in bianco e nero e a colori (servizi da "The Architectural Record", "Hound & Horn", "Fortune", "Vogue", "Flair", "The Cambridge Review", "Architectural Forum", etc.) Appendice con testi di Cartier-Bresson e Robert Frank. Bibliografia cronologica . Cm 33x25. pp. 224. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Mentre i libri fotografici di Walker Evans sono tra i più influenti nella storia della fotografia, le pagine più effimere del grande fotografo restano in gran parte sconosciute. Dalle piccole pubblicazioni d'avanguardia alle testate più famose come Fortune, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Architectural Forum e Life, Evans ha prodotto una controstoria innovativa e indipendente dell'America, spesso impostando da sè il layout delle pagine, dalla scrittura al design finale. Presentando molti dei fotosaggi di Evans nella loro interezza, David Campany assembla una storia dimenticata, che ci permette di vedere come Evans difese la sua autonomia artistica e si guadagnò da vivere raggiungendo il pubblico ben oltre i musei e le gallerie.
