Robert Frank was born on November 9th 1924, he was a photographer in America and also a film director. However his most significant was in his photography. He used photography as a kind of escapism.
His most significant piece of work that is published in the book called 'The Americans', all photographs in this post are from this book. To produce this book he travelled across the USA taking photos in every state he travelled through. However in two towns he was thrown out of for being a Jew.
He took around 28,000 photos whilst travelling across America but only selected 83 to be apart of his book. His book seems to analyse the culture of the time where black people were separated from white people and how the government and national pride took centre stage on the streets of America
