Building exterior--Omaha, Nebraska 1956

"Building exterior--Omaha, Nebraska" is a photograph taken by Robert Frank in 1956. Frank was a Swiss-American photographer known for his candid and often gritty style of photography. The photo depicts a building with a large, white "A" painted on its side. The building’s facade is otherwise plain and simple. The photo is characteristic of Frank's work, which often focused on the ordinary and everyday aspects of American life. The image is part of a larger body of work, "The Americans," a collection of photographs that captured the social and economic realities of the United States during the 1950s. Frank's photographs challenged traditional notions of beauty and perfection in art, instead focusing on the lived experiences of everyday people.
