Walker Evans et al.: Walker Evans

The "Yeolhwadang Photography Pocket Series," which introduces the lives and works of carefully selected representative photographers from Korea and abroad, has consistently been loved for its compact format and affordable price. The charm of these pocket-sized photo books is special, with readers saying they have developed a love for collecting them one by one, find comfort flipping through them on their commutes or travels, or give them as heartfelt gifts to loved ones. Although small in size, its content is professional and substantial. From artist profiles written by prominent critics and writers of the time to major works accompanied by captions, and even a chronology summarizing the photographer's entire life, it is worthy of being called a "small museum of photographic art." Starting with the 41st volume in 2017, the series improved upon previous shortcomings with a new design and binding, and these changes have been applied to subsequent revised editions and new releases. The revised edition of *Walker Evans*, published this time, is also being re-released with a new cover and updated information to correct errors and provide the latest updates. Walker Evans (1903–1975) is known as one of the greatest documentary photographers in history, having documented the impact of the Great Depression on small provincial towns in the United States during the 1930s. His work is quite different from that of other artists who undertook similar tasks during the same period. Rejecting the tendency of others to convey a specific message or confine themselves to a particular style, Evans stripped emotion from his photographs, treating his subjects like specimens, streetscapes like walls adorned with sculptures, and portraits like development posters. Although his subjects all appear to be remarkably restrained in their emotional expression, each of their appearances exudes a peculiar beauty that evokes deep emotion.
