WALKER EVANS
Walker Evans (November 3, 1903 – April 10, 1975) was an American photographer best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration documenting the effects of the Great Depression And the people who endured it.
During the Start of the Great Depression Evans Had traveled across the country taking pictures of people in the US coping with the Great American Depression the Pictures he had took were spreed across the USA showing everyone the effects of other people in there daily life's and the poverty they were living with
Walker Evans took photos of American people who were out of work During the Great Depression in the 1920s-1940s . Many of his photos focused on family's who were poor and dress in drags and dirty clothing which always appeared to be dirty, ripped, or just scraps of what a dress used to be. The message Walker used in these photos were sad but informal to the viewer back then if someone looked at the photo they may feel better for themselves; that they aren't suffering as bad as the people in the photo and may also feel sorry for them. And for the people who are like the people in the photo below can resemble to them and they would know that they are not the only ones having a hard time and suffering. The Picture below is a very famous picture by Walker evens taken during the Great depression. it shows a family in a small room most likely the room they all share and sleep in the same bed or probably the floor.
