From the Library: Photobooks After Frank

The publication of Robert Frank’s The Americans marked a shift in the medium of photography. Traditionally, photographs were viewed as an objective representation of reality, but Frank demonstrated they could also serve as expressive channels to communicate a truth about the photographer’s experience of the world. This focus installation explores the role of the photobook in the decades following Frank’s seminal work and the ways in which it shaped the emergence of photography as a viable fine art.
