Looking in: Robert Frank's The Americans ハードカバー – イラスト付き, 2009/3/1
英語版
Robert Frank
(写真)
First published in France in 1958, then in the United States in 1959, Robert Frank's The Americans changed the course of twentieth-century photography. In 83 photographs, Frank looked beneath the surface of American life to reveal a people plagued by racism, ill-served by their politicians and rendered numb by a rapidly expanding culture of consumption. Yet he also found novel areas of beauty in simple, overlooked corners of American life. And it was not just his subject matter--cars, jukeboxes and even the road itself--that redefined the icons of America; it was also his seemingly intuitive, immediate, off-kilter style, as well as his method of brilliantly linking his photographs together thematically, conceptually, formally and linguistically, that made The Americans so innovative. More of an ode or a poem than a literal document, the book is as powerful and provocative today as it was 50 years ago. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Looking In: Robert Frank's "The Americans" celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of this prescient book. Drawing on newly examined archival sources, it provides a fascinating in-depth examination of the making of the photographs and the book's construction, using vintage contact sheets, work prints and letters that literally chart Frank's journey around the country on a Guggenheim grant in 1955-1956. Curator and editor Sarah Greenough and her colleagues also explore the roots of The Americans in Frank's earlier books, which are abundantly illustrated here, and in books by photographers Walker Evans, Bill Brandt and others. The 83 original photographs from The Americans are presented in sequence in as near vintage prints as possible. The catalogue concludes with an examination of Frank's later reinterpretations and deconstructions of The Americans, bringing full circle the history of this resounding entry in the annals of photography.
This richly illustrated expanded edition of Looking In: Robert Frank's "The Americans" contains several engaging essays by curator Sarah Greenough that explore the roots of this seminal book, Frank's travels on a Guggenheim fellowship, the sequencing of The Americans and the book's impact on his later career. In addition, essays by Anne Wilkes Tucker, Stuart Alexander, Martin Gasser, Jeff L. Rosenheim, Michel Frizot and Luc Sante offer focused analyses of Frank's relationship with Louis Faurer, Edward Steichen, Gotthard Schuh, Walker Evans, Robert Delpire and Jack Kerouac, while Philip Brookman writes about his work with Frank on several exhibitions in the last 30 years. This edition also reproduces many of Frank's earlier photographic sequences, as well as all of the photographs in The Americans and selected later works.
In addition, Looking In: Robert Frank's "The Americans"-Expanded Edition includes a wealth of additional materials, essential information for all interested in twentieth-century photography. It contains all of Frank's vintage contact sheets related to The Americans, a section that re-creates his preliminary sequence and presents variant croppings of the first and subsequent editions of the book and a map and chronology, along with letters and manuscript materials by Frank, Walker Evans and Jack Kerouac related to Frank's Guggenheim fellowship, his travels around the United States in 1955-1956, and his construction of the book. This groundbreaking 528-page catalogue is certain to be the definitive source of information on The Americans for years to come.

レビュー
Like the exhibition, the catalog for "Looking in" was distinguished by its rigorous scholarship. Its expanded, special edition, which included the full contents of "The Americans," as well as scholarly essays, facsimiles of contact sheets, photographer notes and correspondences, and other archival materials, functioned much like a massive and comprehensive finding guide, though limited to only one of Mr. Frank's projects.--Maurice Berger "The New York Times - Lens"

Tudo neste livro é impressionante!
2018年3月8日にブラジルでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Tudo neste livro é impressionante. Começa com o seu tamanho e peso: são 3,3kg de informação bem distribuída entre textos e fotos, muitas fotos. A qualidade da impressão e do acabamento fazem dele um livro-objeto digno da principal editora de foto-livros da atualidade, a alemã Steidl, dirigida com mãos de artesão por Gehrard Steidl, amigo íntimo do Robert Frank, o fotógrafo que revolucionou a fotografia de rua com seus registros dinâmicos e espontâneos que bebeu diretamente na fonte da Geração Beat de Allen Ginsberg e Jack Kerouac.
Agora sobre o conteúdo, trata-se da mais profunda análise sobre o processo de construção de The Americans, do Robert Frank, considerado por muitos um dos livros mais importantes da história da fotografia. Além de incluir em sequência e sem interrupções todas as fotos de The Americans, Looking In também revela as folhas de contato por trás da escolha final de cada foto que entrou no livro. Indo além, também são revelados as fotografias que Robert Frank fez no início de sua carreira na Suíça, assim como imagens dos livros e outros fotógrafos que o influenciaram, tudo acompanhado por textos de diversos ensaístas convidados para retratar cada aspecto por trás da construção de The Americans.
Looking basicamente se resume em um antes, durante e depois de The Americans. Leitura que certamente irá espairecer, iluminar e - quem sabe? - inspirar os olhares daqueles que o lerem.

Non ci sono altre parole per descrivere Robert Frank.
Ha inventato, reinterpretato, rimodulato, il reportage moderno.
Il libro è un tripudio di provini a contatto, pagine di diario, racconti.
Stupenda la edizione.

An essential book for any Photographer. The level of quality of both the content and photographs is more than an example of why Steidl has the best Photobooks. It's more than anyone would expect for a retrospective and introspective book about Robert Frank's Photobook.

A huge and heavy book.
2013年1月17日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
As I said, a huge and heavy book, beautifully printed and presented. For anyone interested in Robert Frank's 'The Americans' it is a must read. To be fair I have only just stared to read it but the information in it is endless, there are lots of previously unseen photos and information about him and his project.
I always thought that doing such a photo road trip as his would be easy just drive, stop here and there and take photos as you go, not a bit of it, i tried it once and it is hard work. Had I read this first I would have realised it. Do buy it. When I have read the whole thing I will add to this review.
