Trolley—New Orleans (1955) – Robert Frank

Celebrated photographer Robert Frank was known for bringing out the uncomfortable truth in his pictures, including this masterpiece called Trolley—New Orleans, which showcased the stark difference in the passengers’ expressions. The Swiss-born published a book titled The Americans, which showed different scenes from his travel across the country.

Although some believed that his pictures were anti-American, many others thought that his works mirrored the country’s reality post-war. Frank remained outspoken about his photos, explaining that he was simply showing what was happening. He died in 2019 at 94 due to natural causes.
