Running from the lOt.h through tM 30th, the exhibition was ui$ited by mony of the Coikge Community and people from $urt"Ounding arvas. Robert Frank was born in Zuric.h in 1924, In 1945 he moved t.o New York City, where he worked on the staff of Haprer's Bazaar and did freelance photography. In 1955 Frank became the fU'tlt non-American to be awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. Touring the United States on his fellowship (l95G-57) he recorded his impressions creating a personal, biting and sometimes cynical document of American life. In 1959 Frank published his work in Paris (Le$ Americai",) and shortly afterward a small American edition was released (The Americans, Grove Press. 1959). The book was destined to become a classic of contemporary photography. It has gerved as an inspirational model fo r countless photographers. After publishing the book, Frank gave up still photography to concentrate on film making. Today the importance of Frank's photographs is apparent. When we look at them we are confronted with uncompromising honesty. The visual impact of these images needs no expla nation, The appraisal !.hat Jack Kerouac offers in his introduction to The Ameri cans suffices: "To Robert. Frank I now give this message: 'You got eyes,''' Kerouac wrote: "Robert Frank, Swiss. unobstrusive, nice, with that litLle camera that he raised, and snaps with one hand he sucked a sad poem right out of America into film, Laking rank among the t.ragic poets of the world."
