Mike Seeger 1958 - 1959

"Mike Seeger" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken between 1958 and 1959. The photograph features Mike Seeger, a prominent American folk musician, holding a violin. The image is known for its candid composition and intimate portrayal of its subject, which is characteristic of Frank's work. The photograph's sharp contrast and grain enhance the sense of realism, conveying the raw energy of American folk music in the late 1950s. This work is part of Frank’s renowned series, "The Americans," which documented American life in the mid-20th century.
