Hiker--Sports 1941 - 1945

"Hiker--Sports" is a black and white photograph taken by American photographer Robert Frank between 1941 and 1945. The image captures a lone hiker traversing a vast, snow-covered mountain landscape. The hiker's silhouette is dwarfed by the majestic peak in the background, emphasizing the vastness of the natural world. The photograph is characteristic of Frank's later work, which explored themes of isolation, alienation, and the human condition. The image's minimalist composition and stark contrasts contribute to its powerful and evocative nature.
