Men Eating Lunch on Steps, New York

More Information

Influenced by Atget, Evans’s early New York scenes focus not on the city’s grandeur but instead on ordinary people and activities. The informality and stop-action nature of this snapshot-like image suggest the city’s hectic pace and helped lay a foundation for later “street photographers” such as Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand.
