Walker Evans, Untitled (Architectural Study, New York), c. 1929
From the Metropolitan Museum:
In his first years as a photographer, when Evans tried out many techniques characteristic of the new vision, he hung an enlargement of this stark image on the wall of his spare New York apartment. Perhaps the photograph was a personal benchmark: it proved that the photographer had learned how to put together a picture, and how to do so with the most common, least picturesque aspects of the contemporary world.
