Streetworkers 1941 - 1945

"Streetworkers" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken between 1941 and 1945. The image depicts two men working on a street, obscured by smoke and a hazy atmosphere. The composition focuses on the figures and the steam rising from the ground, creating a sense of anonymity and the working-class lifestyle of the time. Frank's use of the everyday scene in "Streetworkers" is characteristic of his later work, which explored the complexities of American society and the lives of ordinary people.
