In \u003ci\u003eGood days quiet\u003c\/i\u003e Frank's focus is life inside and outside his beloved weather-beaten wooden house in Mabou, where he has spent summers for decades with his wife June Leaf. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmong portraits of Leaf, Allen Ginsberg and Frank's son are images of the house's simple interior with its wood-fueled iron stove, humble furniture and bare light bulbs, and views of the land and sea by the house: snow-covered, windswept, stormy or lit by the dying sun. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrank's Polaroid prints show various deliberate states of deterioration and manipulation at his hands, including texts that move from the merely descriptive (\"watching the crows\") to the emotive (\"memories,\" \"grey sea--old house \/ can you hear the music\"). As always in Frank's books, his message lies primarily in the photos' lyrical sequence, an influential approach to the photobook pioneered by and today well at home in his 94-year-old hands. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Frank\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Zurich in 1924 and immigrated to the United States in 1947. He is best known for his seminal book \u003ci\u003eThe Americans\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in English in 1959, which gave rise to a distinctly new form of the photobook, and his experimental film \u003ci\u003ePull My Daisy\u003c\/i\u003e (1959). Frank's other important projects include the books \u003ci\u003eBlack White and Things\u003c\/i\u003e (1954), \u003ci\u003eThe Lines of My Hand\u003c\/i\u003e (1972) and the film \u003ci\u003eCocksucker Blues\u003c\/i\u003e for the Rolling Stones (1972). He divides his time between New York City and Nova Scotia, Canada.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9.9 x 8.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 23, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769724731680,"sku":"9783958295506","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/5ad530a39491c3b6ff73bd2786153d74.webp?v=1780354667","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/robert-frank-good-days-quiet-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
