Description: SALE! RARE! Beautiful book!!!! Iconic!!!! Robert Frank The AMERICANS, 2008 HC DJ First Steidl Edition 2008!!!! Printed in Germany Excellent + condition !!! First published in France in 1958, then in the United States in 1959, Robert Frank's The Americans changed the course of twentieth-century photography. In 83 photographs, Frank looked beneath the surface of American life to reveal a people plagued by racism, ill-served by their politicians and rendered numb by a rapidly expanding culture of consumption. Yet he also found novel areas of beauty in simple, overlooked corners of American life. And it was not just Frank's subject matter--cars, jukeboxes and even the road itself―that redefined the icons of America; it was also his seemingly intuitive, immediate, off-kilter style, as well as his method of brilliantly linking his photographs together thematically, conceptually, formally and linguistically, that made The Americans so innovative. More of an ode or a poem than a literal document, the book is as powerful and provocative today as it was 56 years ago. Review The photographs from his seminal book The Americans, which took a critical look at our nation’s life in the 1950s, are timeless. His work continues to inspire new generations to follow his path to see what is invisible in America. ( L'Oeil de la Photographie) His work is revolutionary in showing an America that was not seen, but also creating a way of seeing in photography that was new, powerful and charged. (Ken Light San Francisco Chronicle) ...Robert Frank changed history with the 83 images that appeared in his stark breakthrough “ The Americans. (Sam Whiting SFGate) That is the miracle of great socially committed art: It addresses our sources of deepest unease, helps us to confront what we cannot organize or explain by making all of it unforgettable. (Nicholas Dawidoff The New York Times Magazine) The exhibition is as comprehensive as it is ephemeral featuring a wealth of photographs, all of Frank’s books since 1947, and his films that he began focusing on in the early 1960s.
