Peru, page 6 1948

"Peru, page 6" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken in 1948. This image is part of Frank's iconic photobook *The Americans*, which captured the essence of American life in the mid-20th century. Frank's intimate and candid style, often referred to as "street photography", allowed him to capture the emotions and realities of everyday people. In this photograph, a close-up portrait of a man in Peru, the subject's sunglasses reflect a blurry background, perhaps a city scene, highlighting the interplay between the personal and the broader environment. This photograph is a powerful example of Frank's ability to convey a sense of place and time through his subjects.
