Actor--40 Fotos 1941 - 1945

"Actor--40 Fotos" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, part of his iconic series "The Americans". Taken between 1941 and 1945, the image captures a close-up portrait of a man, likely an actor, smoking a cigar. His serious expression and the stark lighting contribute to a sense of realism and intimacy, reflecting Frank's commitment to capturing everyday life in America. The photograph's composition and focus on the subject's face emphasize his personality and the candid nature of Frank's work, which often challenged traditional photographic conventions.
