Sad news today: Robert Frank, Pivotal Figure in Documentary Photography, Is Dead at 94 Mr. Frank’s visually raw and personally expressive style made him one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/10/arts/robert-frank-dead.html His photographs turned my head and got under my skin in 1970. I still have the used 1968 paperback edition of “The Americans” I bought at a bookstore on Fordham Road in the Bronx, NY, then… I am so happy I was able to see his talk at the Kantor Museum (Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA 2014). My friend Linda called and invited me to join her: she was photographing the talk for the University. https://flic.kr/p/q5vzFK Godspeed, Robert!
