Man in interior with wall calendar--Los Angeles c. 1955 - 1956

"Man in interior with wall calendar--Los Angeles" is a photograph by Robert Frank, taken sometime between 1955 and 1956. The image captures a man, obscured by his own shadow, looking at a wall calendar featuring a pinup. The scene is set in a cluttered interior, with an array of other ephemera including a framed religious image, a thermometer, and a small electric meter. Frank's work is known for its candid and gritty portrayal of everyday life in America, often capturing social and economic inequalities. This photograph exemplifies his signature style, conveying a sense of isolation and the mundane realities of urban existence.
