Walker Evans needs no introduction; he stands as one of the seminal photographic figures of the 20th century, influencing generations of photographers during and after his lifetime. In 1973, the Polaroid company placed in his hands an innovative new product, the SX-70 camera, and offered him unlimited film. The immediacy and conciseness of the Polaroid images fascinated Evans, who was always searching for a means of translating his vision into reality. This beautiful little book, bound in silver cloth with a 1:1 Polaroid image of Evans tipped onto the front, reproduces the last images of his life.
