Walker Evans, whose work both defined and transcended the genre of documentary photography, is arguably the most
influential American photographer of the twentieth century. This first European retrospective of his art will open at the Josef Albers Museum in Bottrop, Germany, in September 2015 and will subsequently travel to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and to the Vancouver Art Gallery.
The accompanying book, Depth of Field, aims to show in detail
the arc of Evans’s career. It traces the complex development of his oeuvre from the brilliance of his early street photography to his iconic photographs of the Great Depression to his late embrace of color and especially color Polaroid, a medium intended for amateurs. The book also features lesser-known series, including his photographs of Victorian and antebellum architecture, Cuba, and Florida’s Gulf Coast, and his Fortune magazine portfolios. Lastly, it sheds light on Evans’s appropriation of vernacular signs and ephemera as an
extension of his vision with a camera.
In image and text, this comprehensive book reveals Evans’s
denial of photography’s boundaries to reach past his time and place, becoming a seminal figure in the arts.

Walker Evans was born in 1903 in St. Louis, Missouri, and began photographing in the late 1920s. Within a decade he had produced some of the most significant photographs of the twentieth century, exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and published two landmark books, American Photographs (1938) and Let us now Praise Famous Men with James Agee (1941). He wrote art and film reviews for Time from 1943 to 1945, was employed by Fortune between 1945 and 1965 and taught at Yale thereafter. He died in 1975.
