This artist book by Robert Frank is the catalogue that accompanied his exhibition entitled "Flamingo." The book displays photographs taken throughout his career. Frank not only captures photographs of people and places throughout time but how he experiences it by incorporating text on his prints. The pictures and text explore his imagination and thoughts. The text on the prints might seem unrelated to the viewer however the artist maybe trying to persuade the viewer to make a connection. Also, juxtaposing certain images next to other images, he creates a narrative of his surroundings. The book shows a stream of conscious photography as if hes documenting what's in front of him when he's taking pictures.
Yes! Could you describe this narrative further? What is the emotional content of the book? How does he create this?
