Yellow Flower--Like a Dog 1992

"Yellow Flower--Like a Dog", a 1992 gelatin silver print by Robert Frank, is a striking example of his experimental approach to photography. This triptych piece juxtaposes a close-up image of a yellow flower with a blurred abstract image and a final image of the flower in a more distant perspective. The handwritten inscription "Like a Dog" on the final image, along with the repeated phrase "Yellow Flower" in the first, adds a layer of introspective commentary, typical of Frank's work.
