Felix Pasilis--Painters no number c. 1956

"Felix Pasilis--Painters no number" is a contact sheet by Robert Frank, a renowned American photographer. This contact sheet, taken in 1956, showcases the raw, unedited images from a roll of film. It presents a series of photographs of Felix Pasilis, an artist, in his studio setting, offering a glimpse into his creative process. The contact sheet format, typical in analog photography, allows viewers to see the photographer's selection and editing choices. The contact sheet exemplifies Frank's documentary style, capturing moments of everyday life with a candid and often introspective perspective. This work is part of the larger body of work known as "The Americans", a photographic project that explored the social and cultural landscape of the United States during the mid-20th century.
