Jugé triste ou pervers, voire subversif, par la presse américaine d' alors, son importance n'a pourtant cessé de croître au fil des années. Car les photographes, les critiques et le grand public ont salué en Robert Frank un véritable novateur. Ce livre n'a rien d'un reportage. Il ne raconte pas le périple d'un homme à travers les Etats-Unis. Il rassemble une suite de notes prises sur le vif par un écorché vif. " ************************* ref 55bse44bs.

"In The Americans Frank has given us a vision of the United States that is as true or untrue as we care to make it. What is certain is that it changed the face of photography in the documentary mode. It struck a chord with a whole generation of American photographers who were not fooled by the sanctimony of 'The Family of Man,' and it paved the way for three decades of photographs exploring the personal poetics of lived experience" (PARR & BADGER, Vol.1, p.247).

First 50th Anniversary edition of the photographer's classic work. Oblong quarto, illustrated throughout. Boldly signed by Robert Frank on the half-title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Introduction by Jack Kerouac. Uncommon signed. Jack Kerouac wrote in his preface of The Americans, "Robert Frank he sucked a sad poem out of America onto film, taking rank among the tragic poets of the world. To Robert Frank I now give this message. You got eyes." Frank's Américains eventually achieved legendary status as "the most renowned photobook of all It struck a chord with a whole generation of American photographers Many memorable photobooks have been derived from this mass of material. None has been more memorable, more influential, nor more fully realized than Frank's masterpiece" (Parr & Badger I:247). "From the more than 20,000 images that resulted, Frank eventually chose 83 of them and arranged them into four chapters 'With these photographs,' he later wrote, 'I have attempted to show a cross-section of the American population. My effort was to express it simply and without confusion. The view is personal' Such a simple intention for a book that would so alter the course of modern photography" (Roth, 150).

American first edition (per publisher's requisite statement "First Grove Press Edition" upon copyright page). [4], i-vi, [2], [83 leaves of b/w plates], [1]. Hardcover: H 19.25cm x L 21.25cm. Dust jacket rubbed and soiled with some toning and foxing; front panel chipped at top right with unfortunate long jagged tear with associated creasing ascending from bottom right to center left; shallow chipping at spine ends with nicks and other much lesser tears at panel edges; front flap retains publisher's original printed price "$7.50" at top right; dj now presented in a mylar Brodart protector. Black cloth with vibrant gilt stamping to spine. Text block's top edge well foxed with much lighter presence to fore-edge. Some toning to endpapers; past owner's personal bookplate affixed to front pastedown; scattered spots of light soiling at margins of interior leaves. Slight sag to text block but binding is firm. A very good copy in only a good dust jacket. Aided by his mentor Walker Evans, Swiss-born American photographer Robert Frank secured a Guggenheim Fellowship for 1955and 1956 with the goal of documenting the dichotomies of American society. Travelling nationally, usually via long road trips sometimes with his family and sometimes without, Frank visited all regions and almost all states including Savannah, Miami Beach, St. Petersburg, New Orleans (a Crescent City streetcar being the locale of famous photo illustrating the dj's front panel), Houston, Los Angeles, Reno, Salt Lake City, Butte, Detroit, Chicago, etc. Initially unable to secure an American publisher, Frank convinced Paris publisher Robert Delpire to issue the book in 1958 under the title "Les Amà ricains." Grove Press quickly followed with this first American edition in 1959 and its success led to prominent solo exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1961 and at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1962. Regarded as one the most significant works in the history of photography, THE AMERICANS was republished in 1969 and 2008.
