14e arrondissement 1951 - 1952

"14e arrondissement" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken in Paris, France, between 1951 and 1952. This snapshot captures a candid moment of everyday life in the city, a street vendor and a customer engaged in a transaction. Frank, a Swiss-American photographer, is known for his humanist approach to photography, often focusing on ordinary people and their interactions. The image is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of human experience through simple, yet profound, observations. His style is reminiscent of photojournalism and documentary photography, with a focus on real life, unposed moments.
