Two men--San Francisco 1956

"Two men--San Francisco" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken in 1956. The image captures two men, one in profile, seated in a seemingly public space. The man in the foreground is holding a cigar and his hands are clasped in his lap, while the man in the background is only partially visible. Frank's photo exemplifies his signature style of street photography, using candid moments to portray social commentary and the human condition. This work, part of his iconic book "The Americans," is renowned for its gritty realism and unflinching portrayal of American life in the 1950s.
