It's because of the importance of Robert Frank's The Americans, released in France in 1958, because of the fact that he stopped photography just afterwards for the cinema - the same year, 1959, that the book appeared in the USA - because of the considerable influence he had on generations of photographers, and also and above all because much of his work from the 1950s remains little known. This book, featuring Robert Frank's photographs from the Cantor Arts Center collection at Stanford University, is the first to focus on this work, with 131 prints, including 22 American originals, and more than 100 unknown images. All the major themes dear to the photographer are represented, as well as his photography, which is both objective and highly personal.
Galassi’s essay offers a comprehensive reexamination of Robert Frank’s early career as a photographer and examines in detail how he utilizes the full range of the essential vocabulary of mm.
