Embarkation 4 1957

"Embarkation 4" (1957) by Robert Frank is a contact sheet of photographs taken during the artist's iconic road trip across America. The series of black and white photographs shows a seemingly random collection of images capturing a wide range of subjects. The contact sheet format showcases the spontaneity and immediacy of Frank's approach, capturing a snapshot of life in America during the mid-20th century. This work is an example of street photography and documentary photography.
