Baboon in zoo, Zurich--40 Fotos 1943 - 1944

This black and white photograph, titled "Baboon in zoo, Zurich--40 Fotos", is a powerful image taken by American photographer Robert Frank between 1943 and 1944. The image shows a baboon in captivity, its open mouth and exposed teeth a stark reminder of the animal's confinement. The focus on the baboon's face behind the cage's grid emphasizes the feeling of entrapment. Frank's work often explored themes of alienation and social commentary, and this photograph speaks to the human condition and the consequences of our choices. This image exemplifies Frank's signature style of candid, documentary photography.
