Focusing on a significant photograph from the Great Depression, this examination highlights Walker Evans's "Kitchen Corner, Tenant Farmhouse, Hale County, Alabama," taken in 1936. Initially unpublished until 1960, it gained prominence through its inclusion in "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men," influencing perceptions of the era. Olivier Richon analyzes the photograph's documentary style, emphasizing its detachment and attention to the overlooked details of the dispossessed. In the context of today's economic inequality, its relevance resonates powerfully.
