Die Landwirtschaft (Farming) 1-12 1944 - 1946

Robert Frank's "Die Landwirtschaft (Farming) 1-12" is a series of 12 black and white photographs, taken between 1944 and 1946, that document the process of farming. The photographs capture the labor-intensive nature of farming, from the planting of the seeds to the harvesting of the crops. Frank's use of close-up shots, and his focus on the details of the farming process, give the viewer a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The photographs are a powerful reminder of the importance of agriculture, and the hard work of those who work the land. "Die Landwirtschaft (Farming) 1-12" is a classic example of Robert Frank's documentary photography, which often focused on the everyday lives of ordinary people.
