The Americans

Front Cover
Scalo, 1959 - Photography - 179 pages
In eighty-three photographs, Frank looks beneath the surface of American life to reveal a people plagued by racism, ill-served by their politicians, and rendered numb by a rapidly expanding culture of consumption. Yet he also finds novel areas of beauty in simple, overlooked corners of American life. And it was not just his subject matter ? cars, jukeboxes, and even the road itself ? that redefined the icons of America; it was also his seemingly intuitive, immediate, off-kilter style, as well as his method of brilliantly linking his photographs together thematically, conceptually, formally, and linguistically, that made The Americans so innovative
