An abiding image of American racial segregation from 1950s New Orleans

In the midst of an extended road trip across the United States, Robert Frank turned from bustling Canal Street, New Orleans, where crowds of people swarmed the sidewalks, pointed his camera lens at a passing trolley, and clicked the shutter. That single exposure produced a picture with enduring clarity: a row of windows framing the street car’s passengers―white passengers in the front, black passengers in the back.

Frank captured individual faces gazing from each rectangular frame, from the weary Black man in his work shirt to the young white girl just in front of him, her hand resting on the wooden sign that designated areas segregated by race. In 1958, he wrote: “With these photographs, I have attempted to show a cross-section of the American population. My effort was to express it simply and without confusion.” By the time The Americans was published in the United States in 1959, with this image now appearing on its front cover, New Orleans streetcars and buses had been desegregated through a 1958 court order. But Jim Crow was still in full swing, the 1960s Civil Rights struggles still ahead. An essay by MoMA curator Lucy Gallun conveys how this image reverberates in new contexts today.

Detailed history and analysis of the cover photo for the American edition of Robert Franks’ “The Americans”. Maybe the greatest photo ever made?

4.0 out of 5 stars Excelentes pero muy político
Reviewed in Mexico on January 11, 2022
Verified Purchase
El cuaderno presenta un contexto muy detallado sobre cómo se hizo la imagen del trolebús además de una visión general del libro "Los Americanos". Hay datos interesantes sobre el libro que no había encontrado en otro lado, como que la maqueta del libro prácticamente ya la tenía hecha Robert Frank cuando acudió al editor Robert Delpire (mucho se especulaba que la edición era del Delpire).

No le pongo 5 estrellas por dos razones: la primera es que el libro trae una agenda política muy marcada que aunque parte de una justa razón se vuelve hasta chocante de tan insistente (lo mismo pasa con el cuaderno de Helen Levitt). La segunda es que se presenta la foto tres veces en el libro pero ninguna sin doblez, es decir que nunca podemos apreciar la foto realmente plana pues aparece siempre doblada en la solapa o através del doblez de un desplegado.
