His career spanned the emergence of the modern mass media in the 1920s to the full acceptance of photography as an art form in the 1960s and 70s. Many of Evans's individual images have become landmarks in both the history of photography and the social history of that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithout Evans, the development of photography would have been very different, particularly in North America. Where the mass media enjoyed celebrity culture, Evans photographed anonymous citizens. Where the mass media promoted consumerism, Evans valued enduring objects and the persistence of the past in the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExperimental and yet classical, Evans's photo-essays have been overlooked until recently. Evans's series \u003cem\u003eLabor Anonymous\u003c\/em\u003e, published in \u003cem\u003eFortune\u003c\/em\u003e magazine in November 1946, displayed pictures of walking workers, taken against a featureless wall, on a Saturday afternoon in Detroit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book presents fifty hitherto unpublished photos from this classic series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47601270784236,"sku":"9783863358716","price":85.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783863358716-walker-evans-labor-anonymous.jpg?v=1777996463","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/walker-evans-labor-anonymous-9783863358716","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
