American Photographs, Walker Evans
Books on Books serie #2
Hardcover
Like new
Part 2 of the 'Books on Books' series focuses on Walker Evans' classic photo book American Photographs and is perhaps the most important photo book ever published. Originally conceived to be a catalog to accompany his one-man show at the Museum of Modern Art in 1938, it continues to go out-of-print for long stretches of time.
Books on Books #2 presents the original 1938 edition with its 87 legendary black and white photographs that defined Evans' documentary-style aesthetic. This volume also reproduces the classic Lincoln Kirstein essay and a contemporary piece written by John T. Hill, the author of many books on Evans including Lyric Documentary (Steidl 2006).
Errata Editions' Books on Books series is an on-going publishing project dedicated to making rare and out-of-print photography books accessible to students and photobook enthusiasts. Each in this series presents the entire content, page for page, of an original master bookwork which, up until now, has been too rare or prohibitively expensive for most to experience. Through a mix of classic and contemporary titles, this series spans the breadth of photographic practice as it has appeared on the printed page and allows further study into the creation and meanings of these great works of art.
Lincoln Kirstein (1907-1996) was an American writer, art connoisseur and cultural figure. He served as the general director of the Ballet Society (later renamed the New York City Ballet) from 1948 until 1989, which he founded with George Balanchine. He commissioned and helped to fund the New York State Theater building at Lincoln Center which served as the home of the New York City Ballet.
John T. Hill is a photographer, designer and writer. He was the initial Director of Graduate Studies at Yale University where he became a friend and colleague of Walker Evans. As executor of Evans' estate he produced five books of Evans' life and work. His latest book Lyric Documentary was published by Steidl in 2006.
