Walker Evans (1938) – Main Street, Morgantown (West Virginia)

Vintage photograph, black and white fine art print by Walker Evans 📸 "Main Street, Morgantown, West Virginia" – 1938 Two men in hats, frozen in a frontal gaze, scrutinize the camera with a serious, almost defiant expression. Taken at the foot of the Bank of Morgantown, in front of an imposing advertising sign, this shot captures the raw essence of 1930s America. The image, of apparent simplicity, questions. It documents without embellishment, at eye level, an era marked by the Great Depression and social tensions. 🔹 Format: 20.5 X 30.5 cm 🔹 Finish: Glossy 🔹 Premium professional photo paper 270g/m² 🔹 Condition: Excellent – modern gallery-quality print, ideal for framing 🖼 A powerful work by Walker Evans Walker Evans (1903–1975), a major figure in 20th-century American photography, is renowned for his humanist documentary style. His ability to capture the "real" America, through faces, storefronts, buildings, or dusty roads, made him an icon, influencing generations of photographers – from Cartier-Bresson to Robert Frank. This photograph is in line with his work for the Farm Security Administration, at the intersection of art and societal testimony. The gaze of the two men, direct and unpretentious, echoes his quest for visual truth: a photograph without staging, but deeply meaningful. ✅ Perfect for collectors, photography enthusiasts or exceptional interior decoration 📦 Carefully sent in a reinforced envelope – Secure packaging 🎁 Ideal for giving as a gift or enriching a collection of vintage/documentary photography.
