My Family/New York 1951

"My Family/New York" (1951) is a powerful black and white photograph by Robert Frank. The image depicts a woman breastfeeding her baby in a domestic setting, with two cats present. This intimate and candid moment showcases Frank's ability to capture the rawness and vulnerability of everyday life. It's a poignant and raw portrayal of motherhood and family, characteristic of Frank's documentary-style photography that explored American society in the mid-20th century. The photo is part of his seminal book "The Americans," which challenged traditional notions of beauty and social order.
