Valencia
von Robert FrankIn 1950, Robert Frank left his job as a photographer in New York to travel through Europe with his family. That summer
he arrived in Valencia, Spain, which was at the time a humble, bleak place enduring the austere conditions of the postwar
period like the rest of the country. The pictures Frank took of Valencia depict the daily life of a fishing village. His
portrayal is so natural and clear that further verbal explanation seems superfluous; they simply reflect, in the photo grapher’s
words, “the humanity of the moment”. The photographs in this book, many of which have never been published
before, allow dignity to override poverty.
