Entretanto, na vida de Robert Frank
A vida inteira1924–1945
Childhood in Zürich and the war years
He grows up in Zürich in a business-oriented Jewish family: his mother, Rosa Zucker (other accounts give her name as Regina), had a Swiss passport, while his father, Hermann, from Frankfurt, had become stateless after losing his German citizenship as a Jew, so Swiss citizenship had to be applied for separately for Robert and his older brother, Manfred. The family remained safe in Switzerland during the Second World War, but the threat of Nazism shaped his understanding of oppression.
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.
