From the Dust Jacket: "ROBERT FRANK: NEW YORK TO NOVA SCOTIA, conceived and written with Frank's support, is the first book to consider both the artist and the man by interweaving articles about Frank with his art and letters from him to his friends and family. This is an original and compelling portrait that traces Frank's life and career from 1947 to [1986], including milestones such as his withdrawal from still photography to make films, and his move from New York to Nova Scotia. The experience behind THE AMERICANS emerges here. Frank's own words evoke the challenge as well as the isolation and the exhaustion of that journey.". First Edition (so stated). Oversize Hardcover.
