South Street, New York (1932) by one of the most famous and iconic phorogrpahers of XXth century, Walker Evans (1903 - 1975) Clearly interested in showing the human condition, Walker Evans photographed this assembly of down-and-out men lounging and sleeping in doorways on South Street in lower Manhattan. Their weary bodies are strewn across the lower half of the frame like discarded props on a stage. The advertisement for the St. George Hotel pool, posted at left and featuring a bathing beauty, was probably not meant to draw in any of these denizens of the street. A keen observer of detail, Evans was aware of the irony that the juxtaposition presented. This fine art quality print is 4th part of an edition of 25 pieces. The Edition was released in 2024.
