Another of the true master's of photography has passed. The Robert Frank author of one of the most important photo books in American history, "The Americans"

His work has influenced generations of photographers with his road trip across America.

Frank's journey was not without incident. He later recalled the anti-Semitism to which he was subject in a small Arkansas town. "I remember the guy [policeman] took me into the police station, and he sat there and put his feet on the table. It came out that I was Jewish because I had a letter from the Guggenheim Foundation.
He was told by the sheriff, "Well, we have to get somebody who speaks Yiddish." ... "They wanted to make a thing out of it. It was the only time it happened on the trip. They put me in jail. It was scary. Nobody knew where I was." Elsewhere in the South, he was told by a sheriff that he had "an hour to leave town." Those incidents may have contributed to the dark view of America found in the work.

For those young photographer who do not know his work, you should learn from what he saw.

andrewbrinkhorst @robertclarkphoto thank you for that story....’The Americans’ was one of the first photo books I purchased, and I still turn to it. I’ve often wondered about the dark undertones in that work, and those incidents could definitely have informed those undertones....

rhondalord 🖤♥️I’m sorry to read this. I’m sorry you lost a friend, another artist. 🙏Thanks for sharing his story. You have my sincere condolences. 🕯🖤

elfindichro Unbelievable the strides we have made against racism of every kind. OR. Is it still there - just well hidden?
