內容簡介
攝影師Robert Frank出生於瑞士，1940年代移民美國，2019逝世於加拿大。Frank以記錄了1950年美國社會實景的作品集《美國人》聞名，他的作品構圖簡單卻力道強大，在攝影界取得初勝後，轉戰紀錄片界，作品同樣廣受好評。
逝世前發表的這本攝影集，記錄了2010-2017年Frank在加拿大海島小鎮的小木屋度過的時光，除了妻子、兒子的照片之外，其中有許多小木屋的靜物照，例如堆滿柴火的火爐、燈泡、簡樸的家具，以及周圍環境在不同季節的照片。
Frank的作品明顯有他刻意破壞和操控修整的痕跡，照片中常有文字以不同形式出現，例如memories、watch the crows、End等，文字在照片中表達了不同的情緒，這是他常用的技巧，也是本書的特色之一。
In this, Robert Frank’s newest book, he both acknowledges and moves beyond his acclaimed visual diaries (2010–17), which juxtapose iconic photos from throughout his career with the more personal pictures he makes today and suggestive, often autobiographical text fragments. In Good days quiet Frank’s focus is life inside and outside his beloved weather-beaten wooden house in Mabou, where he has spent summers for decades with his wife June Leaf.
Among portraits of Leaf, Allen Ginsberg and Frank’s son are images of the house’s simple interior with its wood-fueled iron stove, humble furniture and bare light bulbs, and views of the land and sea by the house: snow-covered, windswept, stormy or lit by the dying sun.
Frank’s Polaroid prints show various deliberate states of deterioration and manipulation at his hands, including texts that move from the merely descriptive (“watching the crows”) to the emotive (“memories,” “grey sea―old house / can you hear the music”). As always in Frank’s books, his message lies primarily in the photos’ lyrical sequence, an influential approach to the photobook pioneered by and today well at home in his 94-year-old hands.
