Possibly, Everything: An Interview with Robert Frank
Robert Frank has always produced books of photographs. He made his first one, “40 Fotos”, in 1946, a spiral-bound, single edition of 40 images he’d taken between 1941 and 1945 and assembled as a portfolio he would use in seeking employment. It accompanied him on his trip to New York in 1947 and helped him secure work with Alexey Brodovitch at Harper’s Bazaar. In 1953 he produced “Black White and Things”, an edition of three. That book mapped the course Robert Frank would follow in all the work he did. Everything is there: the place of memory, the use of sequencing, a reliance on intuition, the rigour and emotional courage of poetry—and trusting and leaving space for the viewer.
