Actors--Filming "Steibruch" 1942

Robert Frank's 1942 photograph "Actors--Filming 'Steibruch'" captures a candid moment on the set of a film production. The composition showcases a group of people, possibly actors and crew members, gathered together during a break in filming. The casual, almost voyeuristic perspective of the photograph, characteristic of Frank's street photography style, adds a sense of immediacy and intimacy to the scene. This image, part of Frank's early work, provides a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of filmmaking in the early 1940s, offering valuable insight into the evolving photographic style of a future master of the medium.
