EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Walker Evans takes us back to the bustling streets of New York City in 1938. Titled "Apartment houses from the rear, 61st Street between 1st and 3rd Avenues" it offers a glimpse into the architectural landscape of that era. The image showcases a row of apartment buildings with their backs facing the viewer, revealing an intriguing perspective rarely seen. Evans' keen eye for detail captures not only the physical structures but also hints at the lives lived within them. The fire escapes zigzagging down each building stand as both a safety measure and a symbol of urban life's constant motion. A laundry line stretches across one window, suggesting domestic routines amidst city living. The photograph is part of Evans' larger body of work commissioned by the Farm Security Administration during the Great Depression. Through his lens, he documented American life during this challenging period, highlighting poverty and economic struggles faced by many citizens. Displayed against a stark background, these apartment houses become more than just bricks and mortar; they represent resilience in times of hardship. This still image serves as a powerful reminder of America's past while offering insight into our shared history. Preserved in negative form at the Library of Congress, this photograph continues to resonate with viewers today. It stands as an enduring testament to Walker Evans' talent for capturing poignant moments that transcend time and place.
