その頃、Robert Frankの人生では
生涯をすべて見る1946
His first hand-made book, “40 Fotos”
He turns to photography, in part as a means to escape the confines of his business-oriented family and home; after training under a few photographers and graphic designers he creates his first hand-made book of photographs, 40 Fotos.
1947
Emigrates to the United States
He emigrates to the United States and secures a job in New York City as a fashion photographer for Harper’s Bazaar.
1949
Camera magazine: the “new photography” of Switzerland
The new editor of Camera magazine, Walter Laubli, publishes a substantial portfolio of Jakob Tuggener alongside the work of the 25-year-old Frank, who has just returned to his native Switzerland after two years abroad, including some of his first pictures from New York; the magazine promotes the two as representatives of the “new photography” of Switzerland. Tuggener, first mentioned to him by his boss and mentor, the Zurich commercial photographer Michael Wolgensinger, becomes a role model for the younger artist.
