Remembering Robert Frank, born OTD in Zurich, 1924

"What a poem this is, what poems can be written about a book of pictures some day by some young new writer high by candlelight bending over them describing every gray mysterious detail, the gray film that caught the actual pink juice of human kind. Whether 't is the milk of human kindness, Shakespeare meant, makes no difference when you look at these pictures. Better than a show." On the occasion of the late photographer's birthday, we are pleased to reproduce "Movie Premiere, Hollywood" (1956) from Frank's seminal first photography book, The Americans, back in stock from Steidl. "The humor, the sadness, the EVERYTHING-ness and American-ness of these pictures!" Jack Kerouac wrote in his 1959 Introduction, also quoted above.
