THE AMERICANS - Robert Frank
First published in France and in French by Robert Delpire in 1958, then the following year in the United States, "The Americans" by photographer Robert Frank (1924-2019) was reprinted by Steidl in 2008. A veritable classic in the history of photography, this book, introduced by Jack Kerouac, brings together 83 of the 23,000 photos Frank took during his year-and-a-half journey across the United States. More ode or poem than literal document, the book is as powerful and provocative today as it was fifty-six years ago.
In Laura Israël's 2013 film Robert Frank - L'Amérique dans le viseur, he says: "When I look at the 83 photos I chose for the book, I tell myself I've captured the essence."
