Random Quote:
"He gives structure, very, very cleverly, by starting each chapter with an American flag, and it's the flag that obscures the human face, from the very first image in the book, the flag is more important. Along with the American flag, there is a series of crosses, hidden, coded into it all the time. There's a picture of a Jehovah's Witness, and behind him in the stonework is a cross, so that he becomes a crucified figure. So you've got those two symbols as the basic grammar of the book. And it becomes the story of flags and hats and cigars and jukeboxes. And you realize the whole book is a narrative, a kind of narrative of optimism that's died. ‘The show is over.' And Frank understands that beautifully."
- Iain Sinclair, speaking of Robert Frank's photobook The Americans, on The Genius of Photography, a BBC TV special
