"Couple--Elko, Nevada" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken in 1956. This photograph captures a candid moment of a couple in Elko, Nevada. The man, wearing a cowboy hat and a patterned shirt, looks directly at the viewer, while the woman gazes slightly away, her expression contemplative. The photograph is part of Frank's iconic series, "The Americans," which explored American society and culture in the 1950s. Frank's intimate style and unposed portraits offered a unique and often critical perspective on the everyday lives of Americans.
