Cemetery--San Francisco 1956

"Cemetery--San Francisco" is a black and white photograph taken by Robert Frank in 1956. It features a close-up view of a grave in a cemetery, with a wooden headstone adorned with flowers. The image captures a sense of quiet reflection and the passage of time, characteristic of Frank's candid approach to street photography, which often explored themes of alienation and social commentary. The photo's intimate scale and focus on detail invite viewers to contemplate the meaning of mortality and the enduring presence of nature.
