LITERATURE Robert Frank, The Lines of my Hand, Tokyo 1972, s.p.

The Lines of My Hand is structured chronologically and presents selections from every stage of Frank's work until 1972--from early photos in Switzerland in 1945-46, to images of his travels in Peru, Paris, Valencia, London and Wales, and to contact sheets from his 1955-56 journey through the US that resulted in The Americans. Here too are intimate photos of Frank's young family, later photo-collages and stills from films including Pull My Daisy and About Me: A Musical.
