Skier--Sports 1941 - 1945

"Skier--Sports" is a black and white photograph taken by Robert Frank in 1941-1945, depicting a skier standing on snow in front of a tunnel. Frank, a Swiss-American photographer and filmmaker, is best known for his book "The Americans", which captured the social and cultural landscape of the United States in the 1950s. This image, with its simple composition and stark contrasts, is characteristic of Frank's early work and foreshadows his later exploration of everyday life.
