My definition of art is to show beauty from a unique or different perspective. Robert Frank used photography to show the facts of America at the time, so it is not “artistic”. To show the facts is not “bleak” because facts are something we should know. After we know the facts, we can get improve. It is also not “political”. I only see the facts from the photos, not political factors. For me, the Flag is a symbol of America, but it didn’t show any political stuff in the photos.

I’m glad that I am not alone and someone else has the same opinion about Robert Frank’s pictures as I have.
