EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Walker Evans showcases the exquisite Greek revival architecture of New Orleans, Louisiana in 1935. The image transports us back to a time when America was grappling with the challenges of the Great Depression. With its grandeur and elegance, this architectural feature stands as a testament to the resilience and heritage of this southern city. The photograph captures a building exterior adorned with balconies, columns, and pillars that exude timeless beauty. The intricate details of each doorway and window tell stories of a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the lives that once thrived within these walls. As we gaze upon this still image, we are reminded of the economic hardships faced during those years. Walker Evans skillfully uses his lens to document not only architectural marvels but also historical moments. This particular print is part of his collection commissioned by various government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). Through his photography, Evans sheds light on both urban landscapes and rural communities affected by economic recession. As we admire this piece from Heritage Art at Library of Congress, it serves as a visual reminder that even in times of adversity, art can capture our collective history while celebrating the enduring spirit found within American architecture.
