Robert Frank, highly influential photographer and filmmaker, has died.
Robert Frank, a highly influential photographer who worked in all iterations of the form, from fashion to film, died on Monday. He was 94.
“What Frank brought to the medium was an improvisational quality coupled with a subjectively original but objective point of view,” Danziger says of Frank’s work. “He saw the world in a way that was at odds with commonly perceived visual clichés of his time but which was certainly more truthful. While the darkness and idiosyncratic nature of much of his vision at first shocked many people — it became the template for much of what was to follow in photography.
“Yet during the Sixties, as many of the issues that Frank has addressed erupted into the collective consciousness, the book came to be regarded as prescient and revolutionary,” the gallery says of the book. Frank is survived by his wife of nearly 40 years June Leaf, a fellow artist. His two children from his first marriage to Mary Frank, also an artist, predeceased him by many years.
“I just walked away from him,” she added. “He tried to talk to me. I just didn’t like the way he approached me as a woman. This is kind of private. It’s nice, it’s true and it’s life.”
