Walker Evans (november 3, 1903 - April 10, 1975) was a photographer. Walker came from an affluent family, his father was an advertiser and in his youth he was in Toledo, Chicago and New York City. He graduated from Philips Academy, in Adover, Massachusetts in 1922. He was known for the Farm Security Administration and the documentary of the effects of the great depression. His goal as a photographer was to make pictures that are "literate, authoritative, transcendent". Walker Evans died at his home in Old Lyme, Connecticut, in April 10, 1975 at age 71. In 1994, Walker Evans handed over his holdings to the New York City's The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
