About the Book
A landmark biography of the great American photographer Walker Evans, written by one of America's most esteemed biographersBook Synopsis
The Depression Era photographs of Walker Evans (1903-1975) remain some of the most indelible and iconic images in the American consciousness. James R. Mellow's landmark biography of Evans-the first to make use of all his diaries, letters, work logs, and contact sheets-shows that Evans was not the social propagandist that many presume, but rather a fastidious observer, recording, simply, the way things were. Walker Evans is not only one of the most finely wrought portraits of a major American artist ever, it is also a fascinating cultural history of America in the 1930s and '40s.About the Author

He was the author of a trilogy of biographies on writers of the Lost Generation, including Hemingway: A Life Without Consequences.
