Franks seminal autobiographical photobook returns to print, expanding upon the original 1972 edition
After The Americans (1958), The Lines of My Hand is arguably Robert Franks most important book, and without a doubt the publication that established his autobiographical, sometimes confessional approach to bookmaking. The book was originally published by Yugensha in Tokyo in 1972, and this reprint of the 2017 Steidl editionmade in close collaboration with Robert Frankfollows and updates the first US edition by Lustrum Press of 1972.
The Lines of My Hand is structured chronologically and presents selections from every stage of Franks work until 1972from early photos in Switzerland in 194546 to images of his travels in Peru, Paris, Valencia, London and Wales and contact sheets from his 195556 journey through the US that resulted in The Americans and launched him into fame. Here too are intimate photos of Franks young family, later photo-collages and stills from films including Pull My Daisy (1959) and About Me: A Musical (1971). The structure of the book mirrors the rhythm of Franks life, and his short personal texts, such as diary entries, bring his voice into the book.
In its singular combination of text and image, its fearless self-reflection and its insistence on photography and film as equal yet different parts of his art, The Lines of My Hand proved an inspiration for many photographersnot least Robert Frank himself, who expanded this approach in his visual diaries of 201017.
