專家說明

In the summer of 1936, Walker Evans traveled to the South with friend and writer James Agee on assignment for Fortune magazine for a piece on tenant farmers. While the article was never published in the magazine, the lengthy text and photographs were published five years later as Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Focusing on three families in Alabama, Agee’s text and Evans' photographs came to represent the entire tragedy of the Great Depression in the eyes of many.

This exquisite mounted print of Bud Fields and his family was acquired directly from the artist by the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
