What can you see in this image? (Objective Analysis)
Starting from the farthest reaches of this picture, I can see houses with long chimneys coming out of them, and as I look at the photo closer, I can see power lines along the left, and at the very front I can see a cemetery with the cross at the very front.
What do you think this image is about? (Subjective Analysis)
I think this image is an example of the idea that life goes on. There is clearly a cemetery that is celebrating the lives of those who have passed, but the buildings all around it shows that people still move on with their lives. The world keeps on spinning!
How effective has Walker Evans been in using landscape to communicate a point of view?
Walter Evans has been very effective in his use of landscape to communicate a point of view. He does an excellent job of capturing what he wants people to see. His main focus is the cemetery, and there are no people in their to disrupt the mood he has set in this photo.
Can this be considered as art?
Of course this can be considered art! Art isn't about how well someone can paint a picture or create a sculpture, while those things are still important, photography is a different type of art. Evans has put thought into his composition, what his subject will be, and the style of photography. This picture is his form of expression, and isn't that what art is? A way to express yourself?
