When Robert Frank immigrated to New York from Zurich in 1947, the aspiring young photographer brought along his portfolio of 40 photos to help him secure employment. Portfolio is the facsimile version of this fascinating object. Containing Frank's earliest original photographs as well as the work of other photographers which he had retouched, the portfolio presents images of rural life in Switzerland and alpine landscapes, alongside cityscapes and still lifes. Portfolio contains the seeds of a career of such scope and influence even the ambitious 23-year-old Robert Frank could not have anticipated.

The hero as human,

This review is from: PORTFOLIO (Paperback)
I am a 57 professional photographer who owes his current and lifetime love of photography to Robert Frank and a few others of his time. I have most of his books, and have always found his work to be honest, original, powerful and poetic. The beauty of this reasonably priced portfolio is that it shows his very early work and his attempt to find employment as a photographer in America. The work is a bit innocent, yet clearly exhibits his eye, with many of the same themes that grew to become "The Americans" and beyond. This is a great book to own.
