Robert Frank's 'The Americans' by Jonathan Day
In the mid-50s, Robert Frank embarked on a ten-thousand-mile road trip across post-war America, capturing thousands of photographs that resulted inThe Americans, which represents a seminal moment in both photography and in America's emerging understanding of itself. Jonathan Day revisits this work and contributes a thoughtful critical commentary.Robert Frank never did say very much and there is not a single word by him in 'The Americans'Jonathan Day in this book has expertly taken over as Frank's narrator [...] As Jack Kerouac says in his introduction to 'The Americans', 'to Robert Frank I now give this message: you got eyes'. And now we have the words.
