FRANK, Robert - The Complete Film Works, Vol. 1

OUT OF PRINT, HERE ONLY AVAILABLE AS PART OF THE 'Robert-Frank-Library'.

"Robert FRANK's significant contribution to photography in the mid-twentieth century is unquestionable.
His book, 'The Americans', is arguably the most important American photography publication of the post-World War II period, and his photography has spawned numerous disciples, as well as a rich critical literature.

However, at the very moment Robert FRANK achieved the status of a star at the end of the 1950s, he abandoned traditional still photography to become a filmmaker.
He eventually returned to photography in the 1970s, but Robert FRANK, as a filmmaker, has remained a well-kept secret for almost four decades.
'Robert Frank: The Complete Film Works' fills a long overdue gap by presenting every one of Robert FRANK's more than 25 films and videos, some of them classics of the New American Cinema of the 1950s and 60s." (publisher's note, © Steidl 2008)
