Delve into the artistic philosophy of one of America\u2019s most influential photographers with Incognito<\/em>, an exquisite, collectible volume that serves as a final testament to the life and vision of Walker Evans (1903\u20131975). Aware of the immortal power of words, the notoriously elusive and taciturn photographer chose to leave a definitive record of his thoughts through a series of deeply personal, recorded conversations with his close and trusted friend, Leslie George Katz. The resulting interview offers an uncompromised, first-hand look into Evans’ mind, allowing his distinct personality and creative philosophy to emerge through his own spoken words.<\/p>\n Designed with a grand presentation befitting its rare historical content, this thin elephant folio stands as a masterpiece of fine bookmaking. The text of the interview and the detailed captions are meticulously printed in letterpress, delivering a classic tactile feel. Following the text, the book features eight scrupulously reproduced, full-page black-and-white photographs, each curated to illustrate Evans’ brilliant documentation of mid-century American life. Uniquely, every image is paired with firsthand commentary and reflections written by Evans himself, transforming the plates into an interactive dialogue between the artist and his work.<\/p>\n Bound in premium cloth buckram, the cover features a beautiful tipped-on tri-tone photograph protected by a publisher-issued clear mylar dust jacket. This title is highly sought after by photography historians, collectors, and bibliophiles alike. Released in a strictly limited single printing of only 2,500 copies, Incognito<\/em> is both an indispensable primary source for understanding Evans\u2019 laconic genius and a stunning addition to any fine art library.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Published by the Eakins Press Foundation VF; mylar dust jacket shows light wear.
