 \, the Swiss-born photographer Robert Frank won a John Simon Guggenheim Mem
 orial Foundation grant to photograph American people and places. For two ye
 ars\, Frank traveled by car throughout the United States\, amassing over 20
 \,000 negatives. The edited portfolio of 83 photographs was published in bo
 ok form as Les Américains by Robert Delpire in France in 1958\, and as The 
 Americans in 1959 by Grove Press in New York. The American edition included
  an introduction by Jack Kerouac\, the Beat writer most famous for his nove
 l On the Road. Describing the emotional scope of Frank’s portfolio\, Keroua
 c wrote: “After seeing these pictures you end up finally not knowing whethe
 r a jukebox is sadder than a coffin.” Frank’s photographs\, which have beco
 me landmarks in the history of photography\, were created with a hand-held 
 Leica camera\, often with a wide-angle lens\, resulting in compositions tha
 t appear unplanned\, spontaneous\, and are ultimately revealing. In this 50
 th anniversary year of its publication\, MOCA presents a rare showing of th
 e complete set of photographs comprising The Americans\, in the order caref
 ully devised by Frank for the book. MOCA’s portfolio\, which is the only co
 mplete set on the West coast\, was purchased in 1995 with funds provided by
  Ralph M. Parsons Foundation. From the Permanent Collection: Robert Frank’s
  “The Americans” was initiated by Rebecca Morse and Corrina Peipon.\n\nFrom
  the Permanent Collection: Robert Frank’s “The Americans” is presented by T
 he Broad Foundation. The exhibition is made possible by endowment support f
 rom The Max Yavno Fund."\n\nWEBSITE: \n\n - Exhibit:  http://www.moca.org/m
