In America
This book is based on the important Frank collection at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University. Its careful sequence of 131 plates integrates 22 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.
Robert Frank turned to filmmaking in 1959, the same year this book appeared in the United States; and because he made very different kinds of pictures when he returned to still photography in the 1970s, most of Frank's American work of the 1950s is poorly known.
