Photo News – How One Man Changed The World … Of Photography – From NPR
Photo News No CommentsThe photography of Robert Frank has often been called revolutionary. He worked at a time when the classical rules of photography were rarely departed from, yet he departed. NPR says he “…single-handedly altered the course of photography…” His book, The Americans, was a documentation of an all too familiar subject, American life. But Frank’s departure from the rules that dominated how a photograph was composed and presented up until that point made his work and book stand out. Check out NPR’s coverage of Robert Frank and a new exhibit of his work at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art by clicking here. (I wish I was closer to NY!)
