Talk:Robert Frank

message: Horvitz who? I don't understand the english very well, when I read the line "The car was without proper title (it was legally owned by Peggy Guggenheim) and Horvitz was shortly arrested for possession of a stolen automobile." I don't understand who is Horvitz no mentioned before. --65.23.243.75 16:06, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In 1969 Frank's film Me and My Brother was released, the IMDb article is here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063286/
Should this be included and perhaps a filmography?

message: I noticed that Frank's birth date was listed as 1968 in the April 6 calendar article, but this article about him makes it clear that his birth year was 1924. Hurrmic 12:54, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it might be a different Frank who died—the April 6 listing described him as an "author/poet," which is not this Frank.  I removed the listing pending attribution of the claim that he has died to a reliable source.  Postdlf 13:25, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Can anyone please tell me whether Robert Frank knew Kerouac or was aware of any beat writers before he began work on The Americans. It says in the wikipedia article that he did, but I have found conflicting information on other internet sites. Sources on where to find more information regarding Frank's early relationships with beat generation writers would also be extremely helpful.--Fernell90 (talk) 23:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The article says the quoted criticism was published in Popular Photography. The Guardian article, referenced at the end of the paragraph, attributes it to Practical Photography (I don't know whether Practical Photography is meant, as that British magazine was only first published the same year Grove Press published The Americans in the US). In the obituaries, I can find a lot of attribution to "Popular Photography", but those writers may have taken this from Wikipedia. The Washington Post 's obituary quotes Popular Photography as writing  “a wart-covered picture of America by a joyless man”. Anyway, I haven't solved this yet, maybe someone can find the original quotes from the archives of these magazines? Currently, the quoted magazine doesn't correspond with the title quoted in the given source. ---Sluzzelin talk 18:28, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

message: Would it be helpful to start a section on the Robert Frank page listing the locations for major collections of Frank's work? This is popular on other artist and photographer pages. For instance, the Smithsonian, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art all have important Robert Frank collections. If there are other collections that should be included, please add them here. Sdylanewing (talk) 16:13, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

message: There is conflicting information about this from Joyce Johnson, who describes introducing Kerouac to Frank in the waiting room of Viking Press, Kerouac's publisher, while Kerouac was in conference with his editors. The Wikipedia article's source is a  New York Times Magazine article that quotes Frank as saying that he met Kerouac ‘‘at a New York party where poets and Beatniks were. Some painters. Everything happened downtown.’’
I would emphasize that the source has Frank saying "at a New York party."  The editor has groundlessly extrapolated "on the sidewalk outside a party" from the   Times Magazine piece, so I plan to correct this.  I also plan to cite Johnson, as "Another version of their meeting is provided by Joyce Johnson, Kerouac's lover at the time." Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 22:40, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: "I met Jack Kerouac on a hot summer night - a party in New York City. We sat down on the sidewalk. I showed Jack the photographs for The Americans. He said: 'Sure I can write something about these pictures...'" This is a quote attributed to Robert Frank on the back dust jacket of the 1998 Scalo edition of The Americans. The main text should describe it something like "Frank recounted meeting Kerouac at a party in New York City..." and so on; Johnson's different account can be mentioned in a footnote. postdlf (talk) 23:54, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
