Quartet, NBC TV studio--Burbank, California 1956

"Quartet, NBC TV studio--Burbank, California" is a 1956 black and white photograph by Robert Frank. The image captures a candid moment backstage at the NBC studio in Burbank, California, showcasing four men in suits and hats. The men stand in a line, seemingly waiting or observing, while a lone figure at the back of the room, partially obscured, leans on a table covered with a white cloth. The composition is characteristic of Frank's documentary style, highlighting the mundane and everyday moments of American life. The photograph is an example of Frank's "The Americans" series, a collection of photographs documenting his travels across America in the 1950s.
