The Americans

Last post I wrote about Cartier-Bresson's seminal work The Decisive Moment. This week I wanted to feature another photography book. Robert Frank's The Americans was the result of his 1955 U.S. road trip funded by a Guggenheim grant. Although he was friends with the likes of famous figures like Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, Frank's work showcases a beautifully gritty, heartbreakingly unfair America.
