Convention 10 1956

This is Robert Frank's "Convention 10", a photographic contact sheet. It’s all about process, right? The way one image bleeds into another, telling a story. I love the raw, gritty feel here. It’s like a painter's sketchbook, where every mark, every stroke, reveals the artist's thinking. The texture of the film, the way the light hits, it's all so immediate, so physical. Look at the way the frames are arranged, almost like a comic strip, but with this sense of urgency, of capturing something fleeting. There is one frame in particular that I find myself drawn to, the one with the coffin. It feels like Frank is forcing us to confront something uncomfortable, something real. It reminds me of the work of Diane Arbus. Both artists have a way of capturing the beauty and the strangeness of everyday life. They remind us that art is not about answers, but about questions.
