Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. Third printing stated. 224 pages. This was co-published with The Baffler magazine. A re-discovered masterpiece of reporting by a literary icon and a celebrated photographer. In 1941, James Agee and Walker Evans published Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, a four-h…undred-page prose symphony about three tenant farming families in Hale County, Alabama at the height of the Great Depression. The book shattered journalistic and literary conventions. The origins of Agee and Evan's famous collaboration date back to an assignment for Fortune magazine, which sent them to Alabama in the summer of 1936 to report a story that was never published. James Rufus Agee (November 27, 1909 - May 16, 1955) was an American novelist, journalist, poet, screenwriter and film critic. In the 1940s, writing for Time, he was one of the most influential film critics in the United States. His autobiographical novel, A Death in the Family won the author a posthumous 1958 Pulitzer Prize. Agee is also known as a co-writer of the book Let Us Now Praise Famous Men and as the screenwriter of the film classics The African Queen and The Night of the Hunter. Walker Evans (November 3, 1903 - April 10, 1975) was an American photographer and photojournalist best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) documenting the effects of the Great Depression. He said that his goal was to make pictures that are "literate, authoritative, transcendent". His works are in the permanent collections of major museums and have been the subject of retrospectives at the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the George Eastman Museum. In the summer of 1936 the business magazine Fortune operated by Henry Luce dispatched staff writer James Agee and photographer Walker Evans, on loan from the Farm Securities Administration, to Alabama to examine the economic plight of white cotton tenant farmers. Agee's report was a powerful indictment of the Southern economic system, but the story was killed by the magazine. One might surmise that Fortune found the piece too critical of Southern capitalism, but researchers have been unable to locate any correspondence explaining why this indictment was rejected for publication. Although Agee's 1936 trip to Alabama did provide important research for his 1941 book on sharecroppers, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, the original manuscript was part of the writer's papers discovered by his daughter in Agee's Greenwich Village home. The James Agee Trust then transferred this collection to the University of Tennessee Special Collections Library where the typescript "Cotton Tenants" was found. In 2012, approximately one-third of the document was published in The Baffler by editor John Summers who worked with Melville House to release the complete document. Fifty years after Agee's death, this trove of his manuscripts turned out to include a typescript labeled Cotton Tenants. Once examined, the pages made it clear that Agee had in fact written a masterly, 30,000-word report for Fortune. Published here in full for the first time, and accompanied by thirty of Walker Evans's historic photos, Cotton Tenants is an eloquent report of three families struggling through desperate times. Indeed, Agee's dispatch remains relevant as one of the most honest explorations of poverty in America ever attempted and as a foundational document of long-form reporting. Walker Evans (Photographer) (illustratore).

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 318 pages. Published in 2000. Exhibition Monograph. One of the best books of the photographic art and achievement of Walker Evans. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published…in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Bruce Campbell: Oversize-volume format. Black cloth boards with metallic-silver titles embossed on spine, as issued. Photographs by Walker Evans. Essays by Maria Morris Hambourg, Jeff L. Rosenheim, Doug Eklund, and Mia Fineman. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Madrid, Spain to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Published on the occasion of the major retrospective exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York in 2000. Presents "Walker Evans". "The best book on the photographer and his images" (Library Journal). Images, now icons, of national identity that have shaped Americans' views of themselves, and influenced important currents of modern art: "A tenant farmer's deprivation-lined face. Antebellum homes that have seen better days. The display windows of small-town main streets. The early subway commuter. Billboards. The full range of Evans' work, from his 1920's black-and-white street scenes of anonymous urban dwellers to the color photographs of signs and letter forms from his final years. Soon after he returned from Paris to New York City in 1927, Evans began contributing to the development of American photography. He captured the substance of people and buildings with a spare elegance that is utterly unpretentious. His gaze is serious, but often amused as well, direct yet never simple. The time that he and writer James Agee spent with Alabama sharecropper families yielded an evocative, honest record of The Great Depression, published as 'Let Us Now Praise Famous Men' (1941). Evans then turned his lens back on New Yorkers, photographing subway riders with a camera hidden in his coat, in 'Many Are Called'. Evans always chose art over what he criticized as artiness. Offers insights into the sources and legacy of Evans' work" (Publisher's blurb). "Whether he is an artist or not, the photographer is a joyous sensualist, for the simple reason that the eye traffics in feelings, not in thoughts. He is a voyeur by nature. He is also reporter, tinkerer, and spy" (Walker Evans). An absolute "must-have" title for Walker Evans collectors. This title is now collectible. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus. 200 tritone and color plates. One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy. ISBN 0691050783. no.
