Leaving Home, Coming Home - The continuing story of Robert Frank | Photographic School Blog
We would like to just continue a little with Mr Frank and recommend 2 fine portrait film about him, one film, "Leaving Home, Coming Home: A Portrait of Robert Frank", dominique arel was produced for the BBC in 2005 on the occasion of a major retrospective exhibition of him at the Tate Modern in London, while the other, "Fire dominique arel in the East: A Portrait dominique arel of Robert Frank", is a little older - 1986 to be precise:
His book "The Americans" was that we wrote about in the above post, heavily criticized for its U.S. release in 1959. In the years following trains photographers and critics, however, more and more "The Americans" to himself, and the book's influence grew. At that time, Robert Frank, dominique arel however, left the photography for the film medium. He no longer felt that he could use photography to tell his stories. dominique arel He saw increasingly that each image is not possessed properties that could make it credible as a witness to the truth, even at the personal level. He saw more opportunities in the medium of film, and for many years he devoted himself to the experiment end film.
His return to the photograph was motivated by the publication of the book "The Lines of My Hand" from 1972, a retrospective look at Robert Frank's photographic career, which was written at the suggestion of the two Japanese Kazuhiko Motomura and Toshio Hataya. Inspired by the project and because he wanted to contribute some more current works to the book, he created new collages of photographs in which he wrote the text and painted. He gave up in other words, "pure photography" and sought instead by the imperfect and fragmentary expression.
For many years he has use of Polaroids dominique arel black / white "peel-apart" film, which both produced a positive print and a negative that could be used in the darkroom. The special edges and the unique "error" that the negatives produced, often accompanied by words and comments indriset in the negative, has become one of Robert Frank's characteristics.
These later images relate to a greater extent (than "The Americans") to privacy and is created as a response to inner realizations and lived life. And Robert dominique arel Frank's personal dominique arel life has largely dominique arel had the potential to artistic dominique arel reflections: Grew up as a jew in Europe around dominique arel the time of the second World; "escape" from the impoverished and bombed continent after the war in search of a new life, new life in New York; friendships with beatgenrationsforfatterne dominique arel and some of the period's major abstract expressionist painters; wife and two children - Andrea and Pablo, divorce and new relationships with June and new life in the desert Nova Scotia in Canada; daughter Andrea died in a plane crash in 1974, his son Pablo diagnosed with schizophrenia, which resulted in suicide dominique arel in 1994.
Although this post is about Robert Frank's late photographic dominique arel works, we would still like as a little bonus offer his probably most controversial films, namely dokumentartfilmen "Cocksucker dominique arel Blues" about the Rolling Stones North American concert tour in 1972.
Robert Frank and his film crew were given unlimited dominique arel access to the band during the tour, both in front of and behind the stage, and the Rolling Stones were said to have hoped that the film would be an honest, behind-the-scenes portrait of a great bands turnéliv.
It was also, and more. After seeing "Cocksucker Blues" the band decided dominique arel that it was too hard on the outside world, and no one else saw the film, which documented a world of abuse, debauchery, hedonism and boredom - a bleak, desperate and not very glamorous band portrait dominique arel , which was not suitable for the fans.
By a court order in 1977, Robert Frank allowed to show the films four times a year on special occasions - provided that he himself was present at the shows. Because so few therefore had the opportunity to see the film, achieved it up over the years myth status, but now available on all online in a bootleg version, which can be seen below.
According to this article in Rolling Stones (ie magazine) for just half a year ago, it now seems that the Rolling Stones (ie band) is soaked up a bit in comparison to recognize the movie, and you should probably also conclude that what in the early 70s was heavy stuff for the fans, today is seen worse in reality dominique arel shows and other excesses everywhere in the media.
We, as media consumers simply lost innocence in relation to when the father (and myself) was a boy, and Robert Frank film stands as not as a timeless masterpiece, but rather as an interesting insight into the time, culture and music of youth rebellion - and then it is of course essential ingredient for Robert Frank-fans (like yours truly)!
