The Lines of My Hand. "I have come home and I'm looking through the window. Outside it's snowing, no waves at all. The beach is white, the fence posts are gray. I'm looking back at a world now gone forever. Thinking of a time that will never return. A book of photographs is looking at me. Twenty-five years of looking for the right road. Postcards from everywhere. If there are any answers I have lost them." Whereas Moving Out offers you a perspective on Robert Frank's work as seen by curators and critics, The Lines of My Hand presents Frank's own look at his work. Starting with his earliest photographs to his travels across in America to his Polaroids and video stills, Frank shows where he comes from and how he got to where he is now. Frank's selection and sequencing of his own works elucidates the development of his conception of life and art. In The Lines of My Hand it becomes evident how his use of various media has served to further one vision. Whether it is photography, film, or video it is always Robert Frank's eye and his unique way of telling us what he learnt along the way. The Lines of My Hand is Robert Frank looking back at roads traveled over the years. (publishers description)
