Julius Orlovsky, from Me and My Brother c. 1965 - 1968

"Julius Orlovsky, from Me and My Brother" (c. 1965 - 1968) is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank. This photo depicts Frank's friend and fellow artist Julius Orlovsky, looking directly at the camera. Orlovsky is wearing a striped shirt and has a dishevelled appearance. The photo captures a moment of intimacy and vulnerability, characteristic of Frank's documentary style photography. This image is from Frank's iconic book "The Americans," which explores the complexities of American society through candid photography. "Me and My Brother," a smaller book published in 1969, focuses specifically on the relationship between Frank and Orlovsky.
