With their candid images of men and women from all classes and walks of life, the photographs presented a very different story than that portrayed by the wholesome caricature of mid-century prosperity pervading American photography at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough initially dismissed by his peers for his pioneering work, Frank was ultimately credited with changing the course of the art form, and his photography holds a secure status in the history of twentieth-century art. And he did all this without words.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt seems appropriate then—and not a little overdue—that Jonathan Day has created a book that expounds, explores, and examines Frank's work pictorially. Taking Frank's iconic images as his point of reference, Day shot new photographs that commented on the road and contemporary America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere, these images are paired with critical commentary that details the aspects of the work that are visually expounded and explained in Day's complementary images. A visual entryway to the photographs and themes of this iconic book in the history of photography, \u003cem\u003ePostcards from the Road\u003c\/em\u003e represents an innovative, carefully considered departure from standard photographic textbooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471392293100,"sku":"9781783201860","price":114.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781783201860-postcards-from-the-road.jpg?v=1775241455"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jonathan-day.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
