Robert Frank: Moving Out

Texts by Sarah Greenough, Philip Brookman, Martin Gasser, John Hanhardt, and W.S. Di Piero. Robert Frank is without question the most important photographer to emerge since World War II. In the early 1950s he pioneered an original and sophisticated way of looking at the world that has dominated the art of photography for many years. This beautifully designed and printed monograph was published on the occasion of the major 1991 retrospective at the National Gallery of Art. In specially commissioned essays, five noted scholars draw upon the National Gallery of Art's archive of Frank's vintage prints, negatives, contact sheets, and work prints to provide a compreshensive examination of his contribution to the art of photography and film. This is the definitive publication on Robert Frank.
