Walker Evans

A Witness to America: The Life and Legacy of Walker Evans Walker Evans, born in St. Louis in 1903, emerged as a pivotal figure in American photography, his name inextricably linked with the visual record of the Great Depression. Yet to define him solely by this period would be to diminish the breadth of his artistic vision and enduring influence.
