Exhibition Highlights

Back in 2009, Fundación MAPFRE kicked off its photography program with a celebration of Walker Evans. Sixteen years later, we are inviting you to take a fresh look at his work and discover why his images still feel so incredibly relevant today. Evans stands out as one of history's most influential photographers because he skipped the staged drama in favor of something much more honest.

His approach was thoughtful and sincere, capturing the world with a sense of quiet poetry that was always deeply connected to the places and moments he photographed.
