L’œuvre du maître américain est connue, mais on l’envisage rarement du point de vue de sa production dans les magazines.
De grandes pages sur les murs enfoncent le clou sur l’intérêt du photographe pour l’ordinaire et l’anonyme : la forme des outils des ouvriers, les couleurs des affiches dans les rues, les passagers du métro.
On a du mal à croire que le magazine Fortune ait laissé publier, entre deux sujets design, un ensemble de Walker Evans sur le vieux mobilier typiquement américain qu’on trouve encore dans certains bureaux.
Le tout donne aussi l’occasion de lire les textes du photographe, fasciné par la poésie du quotidien.

Walker Evans may be famous for his portraits, but he was just as passionate about photojournalism, creating beautiful essays for Life, Fortune and Vogue magazines
