HW#4 Homework #4: Robert Frank’s America

In the video of the exhibition, one of the major theme I found is freedom. There were few pictures of women who didn’t wear very conservative clothing which suggests the freedom that they had while living in America. There was also a sense of patriotism that was shown through the images of flags. I found this exhibition of Robert Frank’s work quite bleak since most people in his pictures didn’t have any pleasant facial features, rather they had more of a depressing expression on their face. In my opinion, through his photographs he was in search of capturing real Americans but while doing that he also captured the depressing moments that the people were suffering from during that time period.
