In 1933, fledgling photographer Walker Evans was asked to make photographs of Cuban society for radical journalist Carleton Beals’s book The Crime of Cuba, an expos‚ about Cuban dictator Gerardo Machado’s corruption and Cuba’s exploitation by the US. In Walker Evans : Cuba, from the collection at the Getty Museum, the 73 images of people, urban landscapes and Cuban business-as-usual seem influenced by Diego Rivera’s politicized content, Hemingway’s "stripped down, minimal style" and the "characteristic emptiness" of Eugene Atget’s photography, says the Getty’s Associate Curator Judith Keller in her introduction. This portrait of pre-Castro Cuba reminds viewers that Cuba has experienced social strife since early on, and that Cuban-U.S. relations have long been problematic. Poet and novelist Andrei Codrescu’s essay investigates Evans’s artistic and political sensibilities at this early point in his career, and the entrenched complexities of the country he attempted to represent.
