Cemetery--San Francisco 1956

Robert Frank’s 1956 photograph *Cemetery--San Francisco* is a stark and evocative image, characteristic of his iconic photobook *The Americans*. The photo captures a graveyard in San Francisco, with a lone figure standing in the distance, dwarfed by the rows of headstones. The composition, with the figure at the edge of the frame, emphasizes the figure’s isolation and the vastness of the cemetery. This work is a poignant commentary on mortality, isolation, and the existential questions that confront individuals in urban environments.
