About this product
Product Information
First published in France in 1958, then the United States in 1959, Robert Frank's The Americans changed the course of twentieth-century photography. In eighty-three photographs, Frank looked beneath the surface of American life to reveal a people plagued by racism, ill-served by their politicians, and rendered numb by a rapidly expanding culture of consumption. Yet he also found novel areas of beauty in simple, overlooked corners of American life. And it was not just his subject matter - cars, jukeboxes, and even the road itself - that redefined the icons of America; it was also his seemingly intuitive, immediate, off-kilter style, as well as his method of brilliantly linking his photographs together thematically, conceptually, formally, and linguistically, that made The Americans so innovative. More of an ode or a poem than a literal document, the book is as powerful and provocative today as it was fifty-five years ago.Product Identifiers

Highly recommended, honest and iconic piece of work from the last century.
An Iconic book in which Frank opened the curtains on a window with views for many but opinions for none. Impartial and unbiased account of people, life, death and everything else. So glad I finally have a copy. Highly recommend this book to non photographers probably more than photographers. At a good price and delivery was fairly prompt. Enjoy!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
