Two cowboys--Alabama or Tennessee 1955

This black and white photograph, "Two cowboys--Alabama or Tennessee" was taken by Robert Frank in 1955 as part of his iconic "The Americans" series. The image showcases two cowboys, their faces partially obscured, captured in a candid moment. The grainy texture and slightly blurred edges contribute to the documentary style and capture the essence of everyday life in the American South. Frank's work explores themes of social commentary and societal change, often challenging traditional photographic conventions. The photograph, a powerful example of his artistic vision, offers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Americans during the mid-20th century.
