Robert Frank
Robert Frank (November 9, 1924 – September 9, 2019) was a
Swiss American photographer and
documentary filmmaker. His most notable work, the 1958 book titled
''The Americans'', earned Frank comparisons to a modern-day
de Tocqueville for his fresh and nuanced outsider's view of American society. Critic
Sean O'Hagan, writing in ''
The Guardian'' in 2014, said ''The Americans'' "changed the nature of photography, what it could say and how it could say it. [ ... ] it remains perhaps the most influential photography book of the 20th century." Frank later expanded into film and video and experimented with manipulating photographs and photomontage.
