From Booklist
Bored by academia and enlivened by art, young Evans wanted to be a writer, but as Rathbone, his first and very astute biographer, explains, he was "more inclined to be a spy than a confessor." When Evans first starting taking photographs, photography was still considered suspect, a bit too tawdry to qualify as a fine art, but that soon changed, an evolution of aesthetics driven, in part, by Evans' own meticulously observed and often ironic images. Rathbone does a superb job of describing Evans' elusive personality and unique vision. He was a small and physically weak man with a potent and unrelenting gaze, a fondness for fine clothes, and a somewhat ambivalent sexuality. Many of his friends were gay, including Hart Crane and Lincoln Kirstein, and Evans' relationship with James Agee, with whom he collaborated on the unforgettable Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, had an odd cast to it, but Evans loved women, married twice, and had many affairs. On the artistic front, Rathbone chronicles the circumstances surrounding Evans' most famous series, including his New York subway portraits and his photographs of the rural South, providing a rich context for these indelible masterpieces.

An excellent biography
25. Januar 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Belinda Rathbone's biography is readable, carefully researched, and, as befits a photographer writing about another photographer, scrupulously honest. Without wallowing in Walker Evans' prickliness or eccentricities, she presents a thorough, elegantly written study of a gifted, troubled artist. It is Evans' artistry that gets primary focus here--as it should. I enjoyed the selection of Evans' photographs that begin the book, and I admired Rathbone's ability to set Evans' photographic style against a series of contexts: the Depression era taste for documentary, the growing popularity of landscape photography, Warhol and Lichtenstein's pop-art, and so on. Rathbone's eye and her pen do her proud in this book.

Walker Evans Bio - Belinda Rathbone
27. Dezember 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Excellent biography by Belinda Rathbone of Walker Evans, one of the best photographers of his time. I read this in 1 week, could'nt put it down. He lived a fascinating life and the author provides a detailed account of his family background, childhood and school years thru his year abroad in Paris and then the start of his photography career in New York. His creative influences, career milestones, relationships and all other events of his life are chronicled in an interesting, easy to read style. I definately recommend it for anyone interested in wanting to learn and understand more about Walker Evans, or anyone with an interest in black & white photography.
