Actor--Filming, Switzerland 1941 - 1942

"Actor--Filming, Switzerland" is a black and white photograph taken by Robert Frank between 1941 and 1942. This photograph, part of Frank's early work, portrays a man in a fedora, likely an actor, in a candid moment during a film shoot in Switzerland. The subject's gaze is directed away from the camera, creating a sense of intimacy and immediacy. The image captures the essence of a working-class individual, with the man's rugged features and simple attire adding to the gritty realism that characterized Frank's later photographic works.
