Produce at market--Food 1941 - 1945

Robert Frank's "Produce at market--Food" is a black and white photograph taken between 1941 and 1945. The photo captures a bustling market scene, with crates of produce stacked high and people working to sort and weigh the goods. Frank's use of a candid, almost snapshot-like style in this photo, exemplifies his approach to street photography, which he developed during his travels across the United States. He captured daily life in a way that felt both intimate and observational, often highlighting the complexities of American society. His work, which includes this photo, is considered to be a significant contribution to the history of photojournalism and documentary photography.
