"Street corner in New Orleans, front of the NE Saul' sandwich shop

📸 Original Photograph – Walker Evans, 1936 "New Orleans Street Corner, NE Saul's Sandwich Shop Front with Advertising Truck" Treat yourself to a rare and iconic work of American documentary photography by Walker Evans, a major figure of the 20th century. Taken in January 1936 in New Orleans, Louisiana, this striking street scene captures, with almost architectural precision, the typical storefront of a popular business, topped with a large painted sign, and this time enhanced by a parked advertising truck, a true rolling totem of vernacular America. The vehicle, adorned with slogans and graphics typical of the era, embodies the visual genius of 1930s street advertising. This presence amplifies the impact of the composition: a powerful image, somewhere between documentary and art, that questions the emerging consumer society and urban life of the American South. 📐 Artwork characteristics: • Black and white art photography • Premium professional print on 270g/m² paper – glossy finish • Size: 20.5 X 30.5 cm • Condition: New, never framed • Careful and protected shipping – Fast shipping 🎞️ About Walker Evans: Walker Evans (1903–1975) is one of the undisputed masters of documentary photography. His work for the Farm Security Administration during the Great Depression made him famous for his frontal and silent images of the American heartland: businesses, signs, sharecroppers, ordinary architecture… His frontal style, with its poetic objectivity, would have a lasting influence on Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank and William Eggleston. A photographer of collective memory, Evans knew how to give a new dignity to everyday objects and scenes. Here, the Saul's truck becomes a true symbol of American popular culture. 🖼️ An ideal piece for: • Art or photography collector • American culture lover • Architect, decorator or gal.
