Die Landschaft (Landscape) 61-72 1942 - 1946

"Die Landschaft (Landscape) 61-72" is a series of 12 black and white photographs taken by Robert Frank between 1942 and 1946. The series showcases different landscapes, including mountains, forests, and fields. Frank's unique style of photography is evident in his use of candid moments and an almost documentary approach to capturing the everyday beauty of the Swiss countryside. The series represents a pivotal point in Frank's artistic journey as he transitioned from his earlier work in fashion photography to his more impactful and influential photographic style. This work is characteristic of the "The Americans" series, a collection of documentary photography capturing American life in the 1950s.
