Street scene, Zurich 1941 - 1945

"Street scene, Zurich" (1941-1945) by Robert Frank is a photograph that captures a street in Zurich, Switzerland. The composition is framed by the corner of a building, revealing a glimpse of the city's iconic Fraumünster church. Frank's signature style is evident in the candid portrayal of everyday life, where the silhouettes of figures in the foreground add a sense of anonymity and a hint of melancholy. This black and white photograph is an example of Frank's renowned photojournalistic approach, which delves into the complexities of urban life during a tumultuous historical period.
