From one of the greatest books of photography of the sixties, if you see a copy, buy it!
A young Robert Frank |
“… with one hand he sucked a sad poem out of America onto film.” – Jack Kerouac
from the introduction of Robert Frank’s “The Americans” (1959)
He photographed London and the UK too
not to mention the Rolling Stones legendary film 'C***Sucker Blues' which puts Pennebaker's 'Don't Look Now' into the shade somehow, less compromising and therefore almost unbroadcastable and as frank by name as frank by nature . . . . . .
Exiles on Main Street - The Rolling Stones -with cover by Robert Frank |
his later work was more expressive and self exploratory
There won't be another one . . . . . . .
