Walker Evans, Maine no number 1955

"Maine no number" is a 1955 photograph by Robert Frank, a prominent figure in American documentary photography. This contact sheet captures a series of moments in Maine, featuring a man in a suit walking past a storefront, a person in a car, and an individual leaning out of a vehicle, seemingly ready to depart. Frank's signature style of candid and unvarnished imagery is evident in the composition, which juxtaposes everyday scenes with a sense of fleetingness and anonymity. This work offers a glimpse into the artist's vision, which focused on capturing the raw essence of American life during the mid-20th century.
