Seller's Description:
Robert Frank (Photography) Very good- Small Oblong Quarto. 28 pp., 16 full-page black and white photographs prev. owner ink inscription on the title page. Stapled wraps with white lettering on black. Catalogue for exhibition at the Akron Art Museum, November 8, 1985 through January 5, 1986. The front panel has waviness, with a corner crease. Interior is clean and bright with small, shallow creases in margins not affecting text or photos. Robert Frank, one of the foremost American photograhers of the 20th century, is Swiss-born. His most famous work, The Americans, is compared to de Toqueville's Democracy in America because his outsider's perspective on American life is sharp and unbiased, revealing things that native-born Americans overlook. Every photo is also a political statement. This gem of an exhibit features 16 photos, most of them from the 1954 Democratic Convention in Chicago and the 1984 Democratic Convention in San Francisco. David Cooper's accompanying essay fulsomely treats Frank's work and contrasts the political landscapes of 1954 and 1984 and how Frank's photographs reflect the changes in American culture over 30 years. Includes a picture of young Robert Kennedy in 1956.
