Robert Frank's 1949 handmade photobook for his girlfriend Mary Lockspeiser serves as an intimate depiction of his early experiences in Paris, entwining photography and personal storytelling.
Frank's cursive notes reveal his thoughts on how human interaction transforms even the simplest aspects of life, as seen in images of everyday Parisian scenes like street lamps and posters.
The exhibition showcasing Frank's photobook highlights his lasting connection to Paris and how the city shaped his artistic perspective, according to curator Kristen Gresh.
Howard Greenberg's recent donation of Frank's photobook to the Museum of Fine Arts Boston enables broader access to his intimate artistry and marks the centenary of his birth.
