Bridgeport, Connecticut 1941

"Bridgeport, Connecticut" is a 1941 photograph by American photographer Walker Evans. The image captures two women crossing a city street, their figures framed against the backdrop of an urban environment. Evans, known for his stark and documentary style, masterfully uses natural light and precise composition to depict the everyday lives of ordinary people, capturing a snapshot of American society during the early 20th century. The photograph's focus on everyday subjects and its documentary approach place it within the realm of American documentary photography, a genre that emerged in the 1930s and sought to document the realities of American life.
