Dock 1941 - 1945

"Dock," a photograph taken between 1941-1945, is a classic example of Robert Frank's distinctive style. The image captures a moment in time with a stark, almost bleak beauty that is characteristic of his work. In the photograph, a lone boat sits docked at a pier, its smoke billowing into a hazy sky. The simple composition, along with the use of black and white film, further emphasizes the feeling of isolation and introspection often found in Frank's photography.
