Robertus Frank

Robertus, vulgo Robert Frank (Turici Helvetiae natus die 9 Novembris 1924; die 9 Septembris 2019 mortuus) fuit photographus documentarius et fabricator pellicularum documentariarum Americanus, qui libro The Americans (1958) innotuit et appellari coepit Alexis de Tocqueville hodiernus ob protervam et discernentem societatis Americanae sententiam. Ioannes O'Hagan, iudex litterarius, in The Guardian anno 2014 dixit The Americans "ingenium photographicum, quod et quomodo dicere poterat, mutavit, . . . photographicus manens liber fortasse maximi momenti saeculi vicensimi."^[1]^[2] Frank deinde pelliculas et pelliculas magnetoscopicas facere coepit ac conatus ad photographemata et photomontage tractanda fecit.
