Exhibit of Photos of Cuba by Walker Evans

The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens in Jacksonville, Florida is hosting the exhibit Ernest Hemingway and Walker Evans: Three Weeks in Cuba, 1933 through Sunday, June 1, 2008.

"This exhibition displays 37 vintage photographic prints by Walker Evans and seven prints copied by Evans, that were found among Ernest Hemingway’s possessions after his death, along with notes, and personal artifacts. These documents and images reveal a friendship between the two men in Havana during a time of growing political instability. This set of Evans prints that Hemingway acquired in 1933 and stored away for years has never been exhibited until recently."

The exhibit is organized by the Key West Museum of Art & History at the Custom House, Florida.
