From the bus 4 1958

Robert Frank made 'From the bus 4' using gelatin silver print. The whole thing about making art, any kind of art really, is to find a way to see, a process, a method, that nobody else is quite doing in that way. That’s what strikes me about Frank, especially in this piece. Look at the image surrounded by the red box on the left side of the print, it has a certain feeling of something caught on the fly, something real, like a snapshot. It's not about perfection; it's about grabbing a slice of life as it happens. There's a sort of accidental beauty. Frank does something similar to what Garry Winogrand was up to. They were both restless wanderers with a camera, capturing fleeting moments. In the end, it’s not about perfect clarity, but about embracing the messy, unpredictable nature of life itself.
