Deeper Meanings Within Photos

Bethlehem, Graveyard and Steel Mill - Walker Evans 1935
Walker Evans Archive, 1994, The Metropolitan Museum
Discuss how effective Walker Evans has been in using a landscape image to communicate a point of view. Can this photograph be considered as Art? Give two reasons to support your answer.

Yes, I believe anything that our minds create with a deeper meaning can be considered art. For example, I believe Walker Evans took hthis photo in black in white to inflict sadness. Moreover he framed the cross tobstone in front of a city/factory to give a meaning of death and downfall.
