'Robert Frank: In America', a New Photo Book
The Americans comprises eighty-three photographs, plucked out from over a thousand shots taken by one Swiss-born artist. Robert Frank’s pictures of America were once branded “anti-photography” for their technical freedom and emotional valence; with his 35mm Leica in hand, he cut beneath the veneer of the 1950s American Dream to reveal the heart of a nation as something pulsating, vulnerable, and exposed.
