"Negroes' Barber Shop" is a 1936 photograph by Walker Evans, known for his documentary style of photography. Evans' work often focused on the lives of ordinary Americans, and this image captures the interior of a barber shop for African Americans. The photograph's stark composition and detailed depiction of the shop's cluttered interior and worn furniture create a sense of realism, highlighting the daily lives of Black Americans during the Depression era.
