  • Catalogue Essay

    Another print of this image is in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum, Santa Monica.

    “When I first made photographs, they were too plain to be considered art and I wasn't considered an artist. I didn't get any attention at all. The people who looked at my work thought, well, that's just a snapshot of the backyard. Privately I knew otherwise and through stubbornness stayed with it.”
    WALKER EVANS
