Road--Landscape 1941 - 1945

"Road--Landscape" is a black and white photograph by American photographer Robert Frank, taken between 1941 and 1945. The photograph depicts a simple scene of a road winding through a grassy field with trees lining the edge. The composition is striking for its emphasis on the vastness of the sky, dominated by fluffy clouds, and the smallness of the figures in the distance. This use of scale is typical of Frank's work and reflects his interest in the human condition and the vastness of the world. The photograph captures a fleeting moment in time, evoking a sense of stillness and tranquility despite the presence of the figures on the road. This photograph is a testament to Frank’s talent for capturing the essence of American life in the mid-20th century.
