Description:
In the summer of 1936, James Agee and Walker Evans set out on assignment for Fortune magazine to explore the daily lives of sharecroppers in the South. They lived with three different families for a month, and the result of their stay was an extraordinary collaboration, a blending of photographs and words that offered "an unsparing record of the harsh existence of three Alabama families, and a poetic meditation on the terrible beauty of their lives". Upon its publication nearly sixty years ago, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men was called intensely moving, unrelentingly realistic. Today it stands as a profound tract for its time, an invaluable document of the human and spiritual meaning of its subjects' lives.
Expand description
With a sixty-four-page photographic prologue of Evans's classic images, recreated from archival negatives, this hardbound edition makes an ideal collector's item as well as a beautiful introduction to the work of the legendary writer and of Evans, whose photographs are the focus of a major national touring exhibition through the year 2000.
