Chairs, Rose Bowl Parade--Pasadena, California 1956

"Chairs, Rose Bowl Parade--Pasadena, California" (1956) by Robert Frank is a stark black and white photograph depicting a row of chairs seen through a storefront window. The chairs, likely set up for an event, sit in front of a wooden barricade, adding a sense of anticipation or even a hint of isolation. The image captures the essence of everyday life in Pasadena, California, showcasing Frank's signature style of candid street photography. His work often explored the complexities of American society and its undercurrents. This photograph, with its minimalist composition and sharp lines, is a testament to his keen eye for detail and the everyday moments that define us.
