The resultant photo-book, The Americans, represents a seminal moment in both photography and in America's emerging understanding of itself. To mark the book's fiftieth anniversary, Jonathan Day revisits this pivotal work and contributes a thoughtful and revealing critical commentary. Though the importance of The Americans has been widely acknowledged, it still retains much of its mystery.Documentary photographyPhotographic criticismUnited StatesSocial life and customs1945-1970Pictorial worksDocumentary photography.Photographic criticism.770.92Day Jonathan1651695MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821952803321Robert Frank's The Americans4001798UNINA
