Drawing on newly examined archival sources, it provides a fascinating in-depth examination of the making of the photographs and the book's construction, using vintage contact sheets, work prints and letters that literally chart Frank's journey around the country on a Guggenheim grant in 1955-56. Curator and editor Sarah Greenough and her colleagues also explore the roots of \u003ci\u003eThe Americans\u003c\/i\u003e in Frank's earlier books, which are abundantly illustrated here, and in books by photographers Walker Evans, Bill Brandt and others. The 83 original photographs from \u003ci\u003eThe Americans\u003c\/i\u003e are presented in sequence in as near vintage prints as possible. The catalogue concludes with an examination of Frank's later reinterpretations and deconstructions of \u003ci\u003eThe Americans\u003c\/i\u003e, bringing full circle the history of this resounding entry in the annals of photography. This volume is a reprint of the 2009 edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Frank\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3865218067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783865218063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.70h x 9.50w x 2.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVillage Voice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/30\/2009 pg. 30","brand":"Robert Frank","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48799198380287,"sku":"9783865218063","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/looking-in-robert-frank-9783865218063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
