520    "In this unconventional, lyrical biography, Lesy traces 
       Evans's intimate, idiosyncratic relationships with men and
       women--the circle of friends who made Walker Evans who he 
       was. 'Wonder and scrutiny produced the portraits Walker 
       made in his prime,' Lesy writes. Evans's photographs of 
       Agee, Berenice Abbott, Lady Caroline Blackwood, and Ben 
       Shahn, among others, accompany Lesy's telling of Evans's 
       life stories. 'Wonder and scrutiny, suffused with desire 
       and dread, produced the portraits he made in his last 
       years,' Lesy notes. In the 1970s, Evans became enthralled 
       with the Polaroid SX-70 and its colorful instant images, 
       and he used it to take his last photographs--portraits of 
       people, in extreme close up, and portraits of objects. 
       'Good clothes and good conversation, wit and erudition, 
       originality and inventiveness, the charms of smart and 
       pretty women--Walker took pleasure in being alive,' Lesy 
       writes. 'He photographed objects as if they were people 
       and people as if they were souls. All the while, he never 
       forgot Blind Joe Death. The annihilations of the First War,
       the extinctions of the epidemic that followed it, the 
       pyres and the pits--these he never forgot. The still 
       silence of his images was, to the very last, 
       transcendental, and always he remembered the skull beneath
       the skin.'" --|cProvided by the publisher.
