Tulip/Paris 1950

"Tulip/Paris" is a black and white photograph taken by Robert Frank in 1950. It depicts two men in overcoats, one holding a tulip behind his back, standing in a Parisian street. Frank's work is known for its candid approach to street photography, capturing everyday life in an unfiltered way. The image's composition, with the man's hand holding the tulip visible only partially, creates a sense of mystery and intrigue, inviting viewers to contemplate the story behind the photograph. This work embodies the minimalist and observational style of photography that characterized the period.
