Die Nahrung (Food) 1-5 1942 - 1946

"Die Nahrung (Food) 1-5" (1942-1946) is a series of five black and white photographs by Robert Frank that captures the stark reality of food in a market setting. Each photo is presented as a separate square on a single sheet, showcasing various foodstuffs such as fish, eggs, and fruit. The series is a testament to Frank's photographic style, characterized by a direct, unvarnished approach to capturing everyday scenes with a sense of authenticity and realism. This series, part of Frank's broader work, exemplifies his signature style of photojournalism and his desire to present a candid view of the world around him.
