Text by Gilles Mora
Foreword by John T. Hill

| The definitive book on Evans’ | | – The Times Literary Supplement |
Walker Evans ranks with Stieglitz, Steichen and Strand as an artist of the highest calibre. His images captured forever the harshness of the Depression, the beauty of 19th-century brownstone architecture, the very essence of American life.
This is the broadest, most comprehensive summary of Walker Evans’s achievement ever published.
Walker Evans: The Hungry Eye presents every phase of Evans’s creative career, each section preceded by an explanatory essay, establishing a definitive canon of Evans’s work. The pictures themselves, reproduced to the finest standards, have been printed from original negatives. The book offers an unequalled tribute to a distinguished and innovative photographer who endowed his own America with universal significance.
John T. Hill, author, curator and practising photographer, was a longstanding friend of Walker Evans and is the executor of his estate. Gilles Mora is the author of numerous books on photography, including, and also published by Thames & Hudson, Edward Weston: Forms of Passion • Passion of Forms.
