In 1950, Robert Frank left his job as a photographer in New York to
travel through Europe with his family. That summer he arrived in
Valencia, Spain, which was at the time a humble, bleak place
enduring the austere conditions of the postwar period like the rest
of the country. The pictures Frank took of Valencia depict the
daily life of a fishing village. His portrayal is so natural and
clear that further verbal explanation seems superfluous; they
simply reflect, in the photo grapher's words, "the humanity of the
moment". The photographs in this book, many of which have never
been published before, allow dignity to override poverty. Robert
Frank, a key figure in photographic history, was born in Zurich in
1924 and immigrated to the United States in 1947. He is best known
for his seminal book The Americans, first published in 1959, which
gave rise to a distinct new form in the photobook, and his
experimental film Pull My Daisy (1959). Frank's other projects
include the books Black White and Things (1954) and The Lines of My
Hand (1972), and the film Cocksucker Blues (1972) documenting the
Rolling Stones. His awards include the Erich Salomon Prize (1985),
the Hasselblad Award (1996), the Cornell Capa Award (1999) and the
PHotoEspana Award (2007) amongst others. Frank divides his time
between New York City and Nova Scotia, Canada.
