Jessica Pareja Homework #4: Robert Frank’s America

After watching the video and seeing some of Robert Frank’s photography, I’m able to say he was a fantastic photographer. Robert Frank was able to capture America and its people. In my opinion, the themes Frank addressed in his photographs were artistic, bleak and political. Frank’s photos capture the American culture which at the time was dealing with segregation, racism and political issues that need to be addressed. What makes Frank’s work interesting has he photographed the American people in their daily life and exposed the real American people. His photographs were controversial because no one likes seeing their reality they always want to look at their world as perfect. Robert Frank photographs show that images are robust and able to express more.
