Walker Evans, in Hexham

Walker Evans worked for the American government’s Farm Security Administration programme during the Great Depression of the 1930's, and took some memorable images of the era including this one above of a share-cropper. So it was an unexpected treat yesterday to find an exhibition of his work in the small but delightful Northumbrian town of Hexham yesterday.

God bring me to Northumberland the land where I would be. "
