Wales 8 1953

"Wales 8," a 1953 photographic contact sheet by Robert Frank, displays a series of black and white images captured on a roll of film. The sheet is comprised of multiple strips of film, showcasing candid moments of everyday life. The grainy, almost abstract quality of the contact sheet reflects Frank's signature style, which challenged traditional photographic conventions. This work, like many others from Frank's influential book, "The Americans," captured the raw and gritty reality of postwar America.
