Walker Evans Photographs the South


 
Walker Evans' photographs of the American South are icons of American photography and defining images for the depiction of the South in photography.

We've noted before the current show at MOMA that in part recreates Evans' landmark American Photographs show at MOMA in 1938.

Now, there is a really interesting discussion of Evans' work -- and this show -- on the New York Times LENS blog, here.

Well worth your look.
