Die Tiere (Animals) 1-12 1942 - 1946

"Die Tiere (Animals) 1-12" is a series of twelve black and white photographs by Robert Frank, taken between 1942 and 1946. Each photo in the series focuses on a different animal, including an elephant, a zebra, a polar bear, camels, a cow, a cat, a dog, horses, a bird, and sheep. The photos are presented in a simple grid format, with each image numbered and framed by a white border, giving the viewer a sense of order and formality. Robert Frank's unique style of photography often emphasizes the beauty of the everyday and the ordinary, and this series reflects that in its depiction of animals in their natural environments.
