Parade 1938 - 1945

"Parade" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank taken between 1938 and 1945. It shows a long line of people walking down a street, viewed from a high vantage point. The perspective gives the sense of the crowd being insignificant, emphasizing the anonymity of individuals within the mass. The image's starkness and composition are characteristic of Frank's work, which is known for its candid and often unsettling portrayals of American society. Frank's signature style, which blended documentary and artistic elements, challenged traditional notions of photography and made him a key figure in the development of photojournalism.
