Between 1935 and 1937, Evans edited the modern art journal Axis and this collection reflects the aesthetic currents at work in that magazine although occasionally ranges more widely such as in John Piper's piece on England's Early Sculptors. The Painter's Object is extensively illustrated with black and white photographs and reproductions.
