Robert Frank: The Americans: Trade Edition

English

A celebrated return of Robert Franks seminal photobook The Americans to Apertures catalogone of the most important bodies of photographic work ever made.

In the nearly seven decades since its publication in France in 1958, then in the United States in 1959, Robert Franks The Americans has become one of the most influential and enduring works of American photography. Through eighty-three photographs taken across the country, Frank unveiled an America that had gone previously unacknowledgedconfronting its people with an underbelly of racial inequality, corruption, injustice, and the stark reality of the American dream. Franks point of viewat once startling and tenaciousis imbued with humanity and lyricism, painting a poignant and incomparable portrait of the nation at a turning point in history.

This edition of The Americans is a celebrated return of an iconic title to Apertures catalog, more than a half-century after the Aperture and Museum of Modern Art edition was published in 1968. Presented on the centennial of Franks birth and coinciding with a major exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, it has been produced following the finest tritone printing from the 2008 edition for which Frank was personally involved in every step of the design and production. 

Franks exacting vision, distinct style, and poetic insight changed the course of twentieth-century photography, and influenced subsequent generations of photographers, including Lee Friedlander, Nan Goldin, Danny Lyon, Joel Meyerowitz, Ed Ruscha, and Garry Winogrand. Now extolled as one of the most groundbreaking photobooks of all time, The Americans remains as powerful and provocative as it was upon publication and continues to resonate with audiences today.
