34th Street, New York City 1947

"34th Street, New York City" (1947) by Robert Frank is a black and white photograph capturing a lone figure walking down the center of a New York City street. The central white line of the street divides the image, leading the viewer's eye down the empty road. The image is characteristic of Frank's "The Americans" series, which documented everyday life in the United States. The photograph highlights the loneliness and alienation of urban life, a theme that Frank frequently explored in his work.
