Convention hall—Chicago 1956

"Convention hall—Chicago" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken in 1956. The image captures a candid moment of three individuals in a bustling setting. A woman in a large, wide-brimmed hat stands at the center, her stern expression and the "Win in '56 Adlai Estes" button suggest a political rally. The man to the left smokes a cigar while the man in the background is partially obscured, creating a sense of anonymity and capturing the fleeting nature of human interaction. This photograph reflects Frank's signature style of photojournalism, capturing the essence of everyday life in America.
