That single click of the shutter produced a picture with enduring clarity: a row of windows framing the street car's passengers-white passengers in the front, black passengers in the back.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Frank captured individual faces gazing from each rectangular frame, from the weary black man in his work shirt, to the young white girl just in front of him, her hand resting on the wooden sign that designated areas segregated by race. In 1958, Frank wrote: \"With these photographs, I have attempted to show a cross-section of the American population. My effort was to express it simply and without confusion.\" By the time \u003ci\u003eThe Americans\u003c\/i\u003e was published in the United States in 1959 (he managed to publish a French edition the previous year), with this image now appearing on its front cover, New Orleans street cars and buses had been desegregated through a May 30, 1958 court order. But Jim Crow was still in full swing, the 1960s Civil Rights struggles still ahead. An essay by curator Lucy Gallun conveys how this image continues to reverberate in new contexts today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49738425925905,"sku":"NGR9781633451193","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51041114947857,"sku":"NIN9781633451193","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1633451194.jpg?v=1751436040"},{"product_id":"life-dances-on-book-lucy-gallun-9781633451643","title":"Life Dances On","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis exhibition catalogue provides new insights into the interdisciplinary and lesserknown aspects of photographer and filmmaker Robert Frank's expansive career by delving into the extraordinarily multifaceted six decades that followed Frank's landmark photobook The Americans (1958) until his death in 2019.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In the six decades that followed the landmark photobook \u003ci\u003eThe Americans\u003c\/i\u003e (1958) until his death in 2019, the photographer and filmmaker Robert Frank maintained an extraordinarily multifaceted practice informed by perpetual experimentation and collaborations across various mediums. Frank is often remembered as a solo photographer on a road trip, a Swiss artist making pictures of an America that he traversed as an outsider. And yet, Frank continually forged new paths in his work, often in direct artistic conversation with others, in a ceaseless creative exploration and observation of life.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Coinciding with the centennial of his birth and taking its name from the artist's 1980 film, \u003ci\u003eLife Dances On\u003c\/i\u003e explores Frank's artistic and personal dialogues with other artists and with his communities. Featuring photographs, films, books, and archival materials, this richly layered publication includes excerpts from an oral history project undertaken for his centennial, and a special section devoted to his \"scrapbook footage,\" which provides readers with previously unavailable reflections from Frank himself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50407672676625,"sku":"NGR9781633451643","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51041388757265,"sku":"NIN9781633451643","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52604268577041,"sku":"GOR014559572","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/163345164X.jpg?v=1751120859"},{"product_id":"time-travelers-book-lucy-gallun-9781633451827","title":"Time Travelers","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEncounters with extraordinary photographs, from the very beginnings of the medium to the present day\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Highlighting a selection of extraordinary photographs spanning more than a century of the medium's history, \u003ci\u003eTime Travelers: Photographs from the Gayle Greenhill Collection\u003c\/i\u003e presents images that transport viewers across space and time.
