Overview
Webb (archivist, Photograph Collection, Metropolitan Museum of Art) examines the series of photographic portfolios made by Evans (1903-1975) in conjunction with the 1935 exhibition "African Negro Art" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibit presented African sculptures for their formal, artistic, and abstract qualities, not as ethnographic specimens (as was typical of the time). Drawing from the Walker Evans Archive and other archival sources, this volume presents new information about the exhibit, and includes previously unpublished black and white photographs of the related exhibits.
