Robert Frank (b. 1924)
拍品 1 The complexity of photographing comes out of yourself...out of your inner world, how you eliminate all the things that you work on. You photograph by process of elimination. By eliminating you come into the core of what you want to express, of what is the best that you have to express. - Robert Frank

專家說明

At the urging of John Szarkowski, the distinguished photohistorian Beaumont Newhall included Robert Frank, represented by this photograph, as one of only four 'contemporary' photographers in the 1964 revision of his seminal History of Photography. Later, Szarkowski wrote about this photograph, 'Robert Frank's fine flatulent black joke on American politics can be read as either farce or anguished protest. ... From the fine shiny sousaphone rises a comic strip balloon that pronounces once more the virtue of ritual patriotism.' (Szarkowski, Looking at Photographs, The Museum of Modern Art, 1973, p. 176)
