Resting climber--Sports 1941 - 1945

"Resting climber--Sports" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken between 1941 and 1945. The image captures a climber in a snowy mountain landscape, resting while on a ski trip. The composition is simple and stark, with the climber standing out against the vastness of the snow-covered terrain. Frank's work is often characterized by its candid and intimate style, which he developed while working as a photojournalist in the United States. This particular image reflects Frank's interest in the natural world and the human experience within it. The image is reminiscent of early 20th century American landscape photography, which explored the grandeur and solitude of nature.
