Noura M. Homework #4 Robert Frank’s America

I thought that Robert Frank’s photographs were artistic because his main goal was to show how Americans live. Even though his photographs showed political and racial issues, he wanted to capture how they lived to people outside of the country. I don’t think he intended for his photographs to be political because like I mentioned before that wasn’t really his main goal. All he wanted was to show how they lived. However, some people didn’t really like his work because it showed America as a boring empty place. Were people are districted or bored which is understandable why some people didn’t like it because it shows a bad image about America and Americans. But as mentioned in the short video In Unseen Photos. A clearer Picture of Robert Frank’s America | KQED Arts, people just failed to see how curious he was about Americans.
