A giant. The last one from a golden age of photography, which he also shaped so well with his quiet wit. I once saw a big exhibition of his work in 2004 in Madrid, including his films. This further deepened my love for his work. Thank you, Robert Frank.

Thanks for posting these links Nick. Some truly outstanding pictures. I didn't realize Frank did the cover art for the Exile on Main Street album, one of my all time favourites.

The excellent documentary with Robert Frank by Laura Israel can be watched on ARTE: https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/050350...eele-amerikas/. Delightfully witty and enlightening.
