Peru, page 21 1948

"Peru, page 21" is a black and white photograph taken by Robert Frank in 1948. It depicts a man in traditional Peruvian clothing playing a flute in a mountainous landscape. The subject's focus is on the man's face and hands playing the flute. The background is out of focus, suggesting a focus on the individual and their cultural traditions. This image is part of Frank's larger body of work, The Americans, which explored the lives of ordinary people in the United States and Latin America.
