Abandoned vehicle in snow--outside Las Vegas, Nevada c. 1955 - 1956

Robert Frank's "Abandoned vehicle in snow--outside Las Vegas, Nevada" is a stark black and white photograph capturing the desolate landscape of Nevada. Taken in 1955-1956, the image depicts a snow-covered field with a small structure visible in the middle ground and an abandoned vehicle partially obscured by the snow. The composition of the photograph, with its emphasis on the vastness of the landscape, is typical of Frank's style. He was a pioneering figure in photojournalism and documentary photography, known for his honest and sometimes critical portrayal of American life.
