Statue, Paris 1951

"Statue, Paris" is a photograph by Robert Frank, taken in 1951. The image features a classical statue of a nude male figure, likely a god, standing on a pedestal in a Parisian park. The statue is framed by a line of trees and a lone figure in the foreground looking up at it. Frank's work is known for its candid, often gritty style, capturing the everyday moments of life in the mid-20th century. This photograph, with its simple composition and contrasting figures, exemplifies this aesthetic.
