Couple
at Coney Island Gelatin silver print, 18.6 × 15.4 cm, by Walker Evans, 1928 J.P. Getty Museum |
||||||||||
| Coney Island offered a sense of release from early twentieth century constraints, drawing couples into its lively crowds and daring amusements. Evans shows a couple looking toward Luna Park in a way that recalls slow seaside hours spent close together, with the warmth and long daylight drift around the two as they share unhurried moments of dreaming. |
