Girl and horse in field, Paris 1951

"Girl and horse in field, Paris" is a 1951 photograph by Robert Frank. It captures a young girl standing in a field, a horse in the background, shrouded by a blanket, with a blurry cityscape in the distance. This stark black and white image is representative of Frank's signature style, which is known for its candid and often documentary approach, capturing moments of everyday life, particularly within urban settings. The photograph is considered part of Frank's iconic book "The Americans," which documented his journey across America in the 1950s. It was published in 1959 and remains a major work of photographic art that continues to influence contemporary photographers and artists.
