"More than any other artist, Walker Evans invented the image of essential America that we have long since accepted as fact. His work, presented in stark and prototypical form in American Photographs, has made its impact not only on photography but also on modern literature, film, and the traditional visual artist. First published in 1938 by The Museum of Modern Art, American Photographs often has been out of print. This Fiftieth-Anniversary Edition, with new duotone plates from original prints, makes Evans's landmark book available again. The design and typography have been re-created as precisely as possible."-- Jacket flap.
