{"product_id":"9783958290396","title":"Robert Frank: London\/Wales","description":"\"War is over; the heroic French population reaffirms superiority. Love, Paris, and Flowers but London was black, white, and gray, the elegance, the style, all present in front of always changing fog. Then I met a man from Wales talking about the Miners and I had read \u003ci\u003eHow Green Was My Valley\u003c\/i\u003e. This became my only try to make a 'Story'.\" --\u003ci\u003eRobert Frank\u003c\/i\u003e This magnificent new edition of \u003ci\u003eLondon\/Wales\u003c\/i\u003e, which features never-before-seen photographs, juxtaposes Frank's images of the elegant world of London money with the grimy working-class world of postwar Wales--bankers opposite coal miners. It brings together two distinct bodies of work, and reveals a significant documentary precedent for \u003ci\u003eThe Americans.\u003c\/i\u003e In also offers an important view of Frank's development, demonstrating an early interest in social commentary, in the narrative potential of photographic sequencing, and innovative use of the expressionistic qualities of the medium.","brand":"Steidl, Gerhard Druckerei und Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053585809648,"sku":"9783958290396","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783958290396_p0.jpg?v=1763761635","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783958290396","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
