Frank’s seminal book The Americans, with an introduction by Jack Kerouac, helped to change the direction of photography
Robert Frank, the
American artist whose photographs captured the lives of everyday people and influenced a generation with his raw and evocative style, has died aged 94.
The Swiss-born photographer’s seminal book The Americans, which had an introduction from Jack Kerouac, beat generation author of On the Road, helped to change the direction of photography with its 83 pictures rejecting many conventions of the art form up to that point.
