Everything which had defined Frank’s art up to that point turns up in this film – the look at America “from the outside”, the poetic libertinage of the Beats, the marginal in a central role. It celebrates the return of the poetic essay as assemblage, the affirmation of the underground as a wild cinematic analysis in the form of a collage, and skillfully weaves together opposites, plays counterfeits against the authentic, pornography against poetry, acting against being, Beat cynicism against hippie romanticism, monochrome against colored. The story contains bizarre twists and turns, and appears to be a rather artless-film-within-a-film being shown at a rundown movie theater. This previously unpublished book includes stills and dialogue from Me and My Brother, together with a DVD of the re-edited 85 minute film.

Less often portrayed are men in the act of reading—even Manet’s portrait of Émile Zola depicts the writer staring away from his open volume. Is it the supposed passivity of this act that has discouraged men from modeling it? This mini-genre remains even less explored yet by photographers, though it surely offers the supreme opportunity for coaxing subjects of either sex into unself-consciousness, if not outright reverie. In Zero Mostel Reads a Book, Robert Frank takes a male comic actor for his subject but flouts the genre’s quietist sobriety in every way possible. Mostel is depicted in cartoonish dimensions, bemused, baffled and apoplectic, as he makes his way through an unidentified hardback volume, while seated at a table or on a sofa in a large lounge area. First published in 1963 by The New York Times “for the fun of it” and a collector’s item ever since, this lovely publication relates a series of theatrical and playful vignettes in which Mostel’s most famous roles—Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, Pseudolus in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Max Bialystock in The Producers—are clearly signaled. It is a delightful moment of slapstick in the Frank oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Frank","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55042642411847,"sku":"9783865215864","price":22.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/2420\/3079\/files\/f6572568ca1380a9886e356a8c1b3267.jpg?v=1789563849"},{"product_id":"frank-films-the-film-and-video-work-of-robert-frank","title":"Frank films - The film and video work of Robert Frank","description":"\u003cp\u003eRobert Frank turned to filmmaking at the end of the 1950s.

Enough of lying in wait, pursuing, sometimes catching the essence of the black and the white, the knowledge where God is. I make films. Now I speak to the people in my viewfinder.” (Robert Frank) Robert Frank turned to filmmaking at the end of the 1950s. Although he has made 27 films, the work is largely a well kept secret. Frank approaches each film project as a new experience, challenging the medium and its possibilities at every turn. He has amalgamated documentary, fiction, and autobiography, cutting across genres. This book offers a visually unique approach to Frank’s films: only new stills taken from videotapes have been used and they add up to a visual essay on Frank’s cinema that establishes an engaging dialogue with his photographic work. Each film is introduced with detailed analysis, discussing the history and the aesthetics of Frank’s film work. An interview with Allen Ginsberg provides an insider view. Together the texts and images offer an innovative and in-depth approach to the oeuvre of one of the greatest and most restless artists of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Frank","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55042794881351,"sku":"9783865218155","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/2420\/3079\/files\/3865218156.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg?v=1793045747"},{"product_id":"robert-frank-peru","title":"Robert Frank - Peru","description":"\u003cp\u003eHB, 48 pages\u003cbr\u003e\nAperture, 1.

Frank made an identical book for himself and one of each of these two dummies now resides in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and National Gallery of Art, Washington. A few of these images are well-known in Frank’s oeuvre but previously the entire series had only ever been seen by a small number of people. This book presents for the first time the complete sequence of images, based on the original book Frank had conceived and realised under his direction. Peru is a work of major historical significance in both the artist’s history and the history of photography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Frank","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55042795635015,"sku":"9783865216922","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/2420\/3079\/files\/peru-robert-frank_1.jpg?v=1789564407"},{"product_id":"robert-frank-tal-uf-tal-ab","title":"Robert Frank -Tal uf tal ab","description":"\u003cp\u003eSB, 40 pages\u003cbr\u003e\nSteidl, 1.
