Robert Frank’s road-worn view of postwar America was raw, uneasy, poetic and unsentimental — a portrait of jukeboxes, flags, highways, diners, parades, faces, grief, glamour and loneliness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eShot across the United States in the mid-1950s, the book rejected polish in favour of atmosphere. Frank’s images feel immediate and restless, closer to a visual notebook than a traditional documentary project. It is a book about America, but also about looking: what gets missed, what sits at the edge of the frame, what a country reveals when nobody is performing for the camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis Trade Edition brings Frank’s landmark sequence back into circulation in an accessible format, preserving the force of a book that helped define the modern photobook and influenced generations of photographers, artists, filmmakers and zine makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEssential shelf material for anyone interested in photography, documentary image-making, American culture or the photobook as an art form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ePublisher: Aperture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePhotographer: Robert Frank\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eIntroduction: Jack Kerouac\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePages: 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDimensions: 21.6 x 19 x 9.1 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWeight: 758 g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePublication year: 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eISBN: 978-1-59711-571-1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aperture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58261658534272,"sku":null,"price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/2597\/9719\/files\/RobertFrank_TheAmericans_Hero.png?v=1781389972","url":"https:\/\/thezinestand.com\/products\/robert-frank-the-americans-trade-edition","provider":"The Zine Stand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
