Contributors

Robert Frank (born in Zurich, 1924; died in Nova Scotia, Canada, 2019) was a Swiss American photographer and documentary filmmaker. He is best known for his seminal book The Americans, first published in 1958, which gave rise to a distinct new art form in the photobook. He is also known for his experimental film Pull My Daisy (1959). His other important projects include the books The Lines of My Hand (1972) and Black White and Things (1954), and the films Cocksucker Blues (1972) and Me and My Brother (1968).

Jack Kerouac (born in Lowell, Massachusetts, 1922; died in St. Petersburg, Florida, 1969) was an American novelist, writer, poet, and artist, best known for his novel On the Road. He was one of the pioneers of the Beat Generation in the 1950s.
