- On September 9, 2019, celebrated Swiss-born photographer Robert Frank died at the age of 94. In this "Sunday Morning" interview broadcast on October 4, 1987, Frank talked about the inspirations behind his classic collection of photographs, "The Americans," taken during a two-year trip across the U.S., which was then being exhibited in a cross-country tour as part of a celebration of his life's work. Charles Kuralt also spoke with curator Anne Tucker, of the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and Evan Turner, director of the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Charles Kuralt brings back wonderful memories. Recall parents & inlaws listening to him every Sunday. Wish you'd resurrect more of his pieces from your archives & share him with us.... Spouse is a photographer & he enjoyed this very much ( me too).
Thank you for this for so many reasons, chief among them is to see and hear Charles Kuralt again. I'd forgotten about "The Americans" and see them both differently and with a degree of familiarity. I liked being reminded of something a musician friend said to me a few years ago. "Music is like cheese. It's everywhere. How can you appreciate cheese if there's no way to get away from it?" At first, the lack of music was noticeable and then it became a blessing. One doesn't need music to suggest how one should react to photos any more than one needs cheese to appreciate a hamburger.
But most of all, thank you for bringing back, at least for 10 minutes, Charles Kuralt and his look on life. Odd to say, maybe, but I do miss him, especially now.
I miss this fellow. I watched Sunday Mornings with him on it. It's sooooo Great to see and hear him once again!
And still those times seemed more humble and beautiful in its own way. Fewer luxuries and more good hearted people who would show mercy,love,and compassion. It just seems like with more people struggling then that it brought out the best in some people and provided strength from Faith.
also brought out the worst
Well said
An honest artist. Thanks alot, Rob for your art.
On the road thru small towns I'll take a pic of a lonely motel room or laundromat and think " Robert Frank would like this" ;))
love these older ones. more please.
Loved this video, Superb piece of work
Thank you!
Most enjoyable. Thanks.
Mr Frank
RIP
Wow.
3:10 didn't quite catch that - "it's a travel log, it wasn't....?"
"...where the sun always shown" showing the bad side of American or the more natural side of America

Black & White photography seems to inherently elicit dreariness. Shadows prevail. Case in point: The colorfully illustrated books “A day in the Life Of America.”
See you on the other side, Robert
😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
The problem is, Frank only showed a (thin) slice of America and yet painted the whole country with a broad brush. The outcome is not only unrepresentative, but it is also very negative in tone. A real downer.
He traveled the whole country, many of the pictures are very representitive. Life's a bit of a downer my guy. Pain is everywhere, even in america yes.
he showed all kinds of people from almost every single state in america. It’s you that lives in a small bubble and believes that your perspective of america is the correct one
It showed us the other side of the coin
Ahh... 40s, 50s and 60s... back when 100% of Americans owned America.
30p and combing - pitiful.
I love his work (2019) he is gone a week only since his death
