Horses--Farming 1941 - 1945

"Horses--Farming" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken between 1941 and 1945. The photograph depicts two horses harnessed together, pulling a plow through a field. The image is a classic example of Frank's documentary style, which often focused on everyday life in America. This photograph highlights the role of animals in agriculture during a time when mechanization was still in its early stages. The photograph's stark composition and focus on the horses' working relationship creates a sense of realism and simplicity.
