"In 1955 two photographers were awarded grants from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation to embark on trips across the United States. Robert Frank (1924-2019) drove coast to coast, photographing the highways, bars, and people that formed the basis for his widely admired publication The Americans (1958). Todd Webb (1905-2000) walked across the country, searching for 'vanishing Americana and what is taking its place.' Unaware of each other's work, the photographers produced strikingly similar images of the highway, parades, and dim, smoky barrooms. Yet while Frank's grainy, off-kilter style revealed many inequities of American life, Webb's carefully composed images embraced clear detail and celebrated the individual oddities of Americans and their locales." --
