First published in France in 1958 and later in the United States in 1959, Robert Frank's 'The Americans' is considered one of the most influential works in modern photography. This Steidl edition features eighty-three photographs that look beneath the surface of American life to reveal a people plagued by racism, ill-served by politicians, and rendered numb by a rapidly expanding culture of consumption. The book is noted for its intuitive, off-kilter style and its thematic linking of images, moving beyond literal documentation to create a powerful visual poem of the mid-20th century United States.
