Publisher's Description: Sixty years ago, at the height of his powers, Frank left New York in a secondhand Ford and began the epic yearlong road trip that would become ������The Americans,�۪�۪ a photographic survey of the inner life of the country that Peter Schjeldahl, art critic at The New Yorker, considers ������one of the basic American masterpieces of any medium.�۪�۪ Frank hoped to express the emotional rhythms of the United States, to portray underlying realities and misgivings ��� how it felt to be wealthy, to be poor, to be in love, to be alone, to be young or old, to be black or white, to live along a country road or to walk a crowded sidewalk, to be overworked or sleeping in parks, to be a swaggering Southern couple or to be young and gay in New York, to be politicking or at prayer. -NICHOLAS DAWIDOFF
