Just back from the Walker Evans exhibition at MOMA celebrating the seventy-fifth anniversary of 'American Photographs' - the first one-person photography exhibition at MOMA - and the accompanying publication which paved the way for the photo book as work of art. These prints from MOMA's collection are supposedly from the orignal exhibition or book, though it doesn't look like all the images are here. This is a list Evan's made for the original exhibition: "Show ideas: small defined sections, people, faces, architecture, repetition, small pictures, large pictures."
