La vie entière1930
Three photographs in Hart Crane's “The Bridge”
Three of Evans's photographs, of the Brooklyn Bridge, are published in Hart Crane's poetry book “The Bridge”.
May – June 1933
An assignment in Cuba
In May and June 1933 Evans takes photographs in Cuba on assignment for Lippincott, the publisher of Carleton Beals' “The Crime of Cuba”, a “strident account” of the dictatorship of Gerardo Machado. He documents street life, the presence of police, beggars and dockworkers in rags, and other waterfront scenes; 31 of his photographs will appear in Beals' book.
May – June 1933
Drinking with Hemingway in Cuba
In Cuba Evans drinks nightly with Ernest Hemingway, who lends him money to extend his two-week stay by an additional week. Fearing that his photographs might be deemed critical of the government and confiscated, he leaves 46 prints with Hemingway, and helps him acquire photos from newspaper archives documenting the political violence Hemingway describes in “To Have and Have Not” (1937).
