The Americans by Robert Frank
After attending the amazing Ralph Lauren Spring 2010 fashion show, sharing these pictures seemed very appropriate. Here's a piece of the the introduction, written by Jack Kerouac. "That crazy feeling in America when the sun is hot on the streets and the music comes out of the jukebox or from a nearby funeral, that's what Robert Frank has captured in tremendous photographs taken as he traveled on the road around practically forty-eight states in an old used car and with the agility, mystery, genius, and sadness. As American a a picture-the faces don't editorialize or criticize or say anything but 'This is the way we are in real life and if you don't like it I don't know anything about it 'cause I'm living my own life and my way and God bless us all.' Robert Frank, Swiss, unobtrusive, nice, with that little camera that he raises and snaps with one hand he sucked a sad poem right out of America onto film, taking rank among the tragic poets of the world."
