Snow-covered cabin--Landscape 1941 - 1945

This photograph, taken between 1941 and 1945 by Robert Frank, captures a stark and minimalist scene of a snow-covered log cabin. The image focuses on the heavy snowfall that has accumulated on the roof, obscuring the cabin's structure. The stark black and white tones highlight the texture of the snow and the wooden logs, creating a sense of isolation and quietude. This small-scale work, measuring just 5.8 x 5.5 cm, exemplifies Frank's interest in capturing the essence of everyday life through his lens. This image, likely captured during Frank's travels in the United States, embodies the photographic style he developed, characterized by its candid nature and focus on the ordinary.
