Pablo c. 1979

"Pablo" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken around 1979. It depicts a young man, seemingly named Pablo, holding various publications including a book on volcanoes and a newspaper. The subject's casual attire and relaxed pose, along with the candid nature of the image, are characteristic of Frank's influential "The Americans" photobook, which explored American culture and society in the 1950s. This work captures the essence of everyday life in the late 1970s, highlighting the accessibility and immediacy of Frank's photographic style.
