{"product_id":"walker-evans-the-lost-work","title":"Walker Evans: The Lost Work","description":"\u003cp\u003eWalker Evans was perhaps the greatest \"documentary artist\" American has ever known. In a career that lasted forty-six years (1928-1974) Evans profoundly changed the way Americans looked at themselves  their social causes  and their country. Drawn from a largely unseen private collection-the largest private collection of Walker Evans photographs in the world-this lavishly produced volume publishes here for the first time scores of pictures that have henceforth been inaccessible to the public. Included are the familiar images of Evanss Southern work (1935-36)  as well as far less familiar images of Evanss friends and fellow artists  his work in Tahiti  photographs that he made of Victorian House architecture (1930-31)  and photographs done on travels to England  Cuba  Maine  Nova Scotia  Chicago and New Orleans. Authors Belinda Rathbone and Clark Worswick rise to the occasion of documenting Evans monumental career  exploring the overlooked byways of Evans career at a moment when a rediscovery of his lifes work is taking place in both the museum world and in the world of photographic collecting. What we are presented with here is a definitive and sometimes surprising look at the photographer whose oeuvre prefigures the work of photographers and documentary artists of all stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44987568619573,"sku":"ByrdShop_1892041294","price":71.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781892041296.jpg?v=1770948631","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/walker-evans-the-lost-work","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
