Hardcover. Condition: New. In shrink wrap. Looks like an interesting title.

Paperback. Condition: New. In 1933, Walker Evans traveled to Cuba to take photographs for The Crime of Cuba, a book by American journalist Carleton Beals. Beals?s explicit goal was to expose the corruption of dictator Gerardo Machado and the torturous relationship between the United States and its island neighbor. Evans?s photographs are fascinating both for their subject matter and the evidence they provide of his artistic development. This volume brings together more than sixty of these imagesâ"all from the J. Paul Getty Museum?s extensive holdings of the photographer?s work. Codrescu?s spirited text helps to provide a sense of the aesthetic and political forces that were shaping Evans?s art in the early 1930s. He argues that the photographs are the work of a young artist whose temperament was distinctly at odds with Beals?s impassioned rhetoric and shows that Evans was just beginning to combine his early, formalist aesthetic with the social concerns that would figure so prominently in his later work. Together, the images and the insightful essay provide a compelling study of a major artist at an important juncture in his career.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Walker Evans photographed signs throughout every phase of his career. From the 1920s to the time of his death in 1975, Evans was obsessed with the signage he found in modern America--from billboards to gas station pumps to street graffiti to handmade announcements of a Saturday-night dance. This book features fifth photographs of signs from the Getty Museum's collection, presented with a lively, provocative essay by Andrei Codrescu. Codrescu trains a perceptive eye on the artistic and social climate in Evans's America and reflects on the photographer's images as documents and commentary. Some of the images included come from the place and era most closely associated with Evans--the rural South of the 1930s. But also included are photographs that will be less familiar to many of his admirers, such as his images of New York City street scenes and advertising signs, or pictures he took in Havana and in Sarasota, Florida.…
