Family near ocean, Spain 1952

"Family near ocean, Spain" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken in 1952 during his travels across the United States. The photo captures a family walking along a coastal path, their figures silhouetted against the vast expanse of the ocean. Frank's use of a high vantage point and a slightly blurred foreground creates a sense of distance and isolation, characteristic of his "The Americans" series. This iconic work explores themes of social alienation and the American landscape through a candid, documentary style.
