In l955 and l956, driving an old used car, living off the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation grant he had been awarded, Robert Frank traversed forty-eight states of America "and with the agility, mystery, genius, sadness and strange secrecy of a shadow photographed scenes that have never been seen before on film.The humolr, the sadness, the EVERYTHING-ness and American--ness of these pictures! Tall thin cowboy rolling butt outside Madison Squaer Garden New York for rodeo season, sad, spindly, unbelievable -- Long shot of night road arrowing forlorn into immensities and flat of impossible-to-believe America in New Mexico under the prisoner's moon -- under the whang whang guitar star -- Haggard old frowsy dames of Los Angeles leaning peering out the right front window of Old Paw's car on a Syunday gawking and criticizing to explain Amerikay to little children in the spattered back seat.What a poem this is, what poems can ber written about this book of pictures some day by some young new writer high by candelight bending over them describing every gray mysterious dertail, the gray film that caught the actual pink juice of human kind."

Hardcover. Glossy illustrated dj; black cloth boards. 176 pp : chiefly illustrations. ".when Frank made his epic journey across America in the mid-fifties, at the wheel of a secondhand car, what he saw and recorded was a world largely unimagined by the serious photographers of his day - a grab bag of roadside ephemera, neon signs, fast-service cafes, gloomy bars and grim hustling street crowds." VG, some spotting on top edge, insides pages clean and tight.
