Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts, Stanford University, Stanford, California, September 10 2014 - January 5 2015.;Includes index.;For a variety of reasons, much of Robert Frank's American work of the 1950s is poorly known. This book, based on the important Frank collection at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University, is the first to focus on that work. Its careful sequence of plates integrates photographs from 'The Americans' with more than 100 unknown or unfamiliar images to chart the major themes and pictorial strategies of Frank's work in the United States in the 1950s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eRobert Frank: In America\u003c\/i\u003e brings together twenty-two of the images from \n\u003ci\u003eThe Americans\u003c\/i\u003e with more than one hundred other images made between 1947 and the early 1960s...

Through eighty-three photographs taken across the country, Frank unveiled an America that had gone previously unacknowledged--confronting its people with an underbelly of racial inequality, corruption, injustice, and the stark reality of the American dream. Frank's point of view--at once startling and tenacious--is imbued with humanity and lyricism, painting a poignant and incomparable portrait of the nation at a turning point in history. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis edition of \n\u003ci\u003eThe Americans\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebrated return of an iconic title to Aperture's catalog, more than a half-century after the Aperture and Museum of Modern Art edition was published in 1968. Presented on the centennial of Frank's birth and coinciding with a major exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, it has been produced following the finest tritone printing from the 2008 edition for which Frank was personally involved in every step of the design and production. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrank's exacting vision, distinct style, and poetic insight changed the course of twentieth-century photography, and influenced subsequent generations of photographers, including Lee Friedlander, Nan Goldin, Danny Lyon, Joel Meyerowitz, Ed Ruscha, and Garry Winogrand. Now extolled as one of the most groundbreaking photobooks of all time, \n\u003ci\u003eThe Americans\u003c\/i\u003e remains as powerful and provocative as it was upon publication and continues to resonate with audiences today. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eFrank, Robert\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRobert Frank\u003c\/b\u003e (born in Zurich, 1924; died in Nova Scotia, Canada, 2019) was a Swiss American photographer and documentary filmmaker.
