What is Walker Evans' most famous photographic work?

Like Langer, Walker Evans (1903 ~1975) is also one of the photographers of the Agricultural Safety Bureau.

Evans was born in a middle-class family in the midwest of the United States. After dropping out of college, he decided to take photography as a career, so it took him several months to master the shooting technology. Then, I started my photography career.

In the mid-1930s, Evans was employed by the Agricultural Security Bureau. He recorded the details of American life during the Great Depression through photos: the main streets of American southern cities, Saratoga in the rain, dilapidated barber shops and replaced billboards. ...

1936, Evans and writer james agee went to Alabama to take documentary photos about the life of tenant farmers.

The Tenant's Wife is Evans' most famous work. Examining this photo carefully, the audience will feel that this woman is in trouble from the wrinkles on the protagonist's forehead, the clenched lower lip and the gloomy face. At the same time, she looks directly into the eyes of the camera, which makes people strongly feel her perseverance and strength.

The photos taken by Evans pay attention to the atmosphere of the scene and impress readers with details and feelings, which are "serious transparency and straightforward innocence". He advocates the simple style of not rendering, which is his genius: he doesn't give any hints to the audience, so that the audience can feel it with heart.

From 65438 to 0938, the new york Museum of Modern Art held an exhibition of Evans' works, which was the first important exhibition in his life. Later, he became a full-time author of Time magazine and Happiness magazine and the only full-time photographer of Happiness magazine. Evans was a professor of graphic art design at Yale University from 1965 until his death.
