Robert Frank is best known for his pictures of a postwar America riven by social and political discord, and for the films he made with the poets of the Beat Generation and the Rolling Stones. So the filmed images found only after Frank’s death in 2019 may surprise some viewers. Tucked away in storage places, these film canisters and tapes, containing footage that spans the years 1970 to 2006, offer insight into the artist’s life and work. In partnership with the June Leaf and Robert Frank Foundation, Frank’s longtime film editor Laura Israel and the art director Alex Bingham have used these fragments to create a moving-image scrapbook. Featuring projections across multiple screens, the installation conveys the intimacy and immediacy of Frank’s observations of family, friends, and collaborators, as well as of domestic interiors and vistas of cities and coastlines.
The footage in this installation, stitched together by Israel and Bingham to evoke his restless gaze and voice, sheds new light on his artistic process—at once comical and melancholy. We watch Frank journey between his homes in New York and Nova Scotia; down the open roads of the United States and Canada; and amid urban landscapes, including those of Beirut, Cairo, Moscow, and his native Switzerland. Frank makes the most fleeting of pleasures timeless: a warm bath and a steaming tea kettle, a glimpse of his wife June Leaf in her studio, the play of sunlight on his hand.

The Metropolitan Museum is a world-class art museum in New York City, USA. I have some brief feelings after visiting: 1. Extensive collections: The Metropolitan Museum has a wide range of collections, including artworks from Europe and the Americas, artworks from Africa and Asia, ancient artworks and more. These collections show the development of human art and culture. 2. Fine art: The artworks in the museum, whether they are paintings, sculptures or crafts, have made me feel the talents and innovation of the artists. 3. Interactive: There are many interactive exhibitions in the museum, which can better understand and appreciate the artwork. 4. Educational: The explanations and guided tours in the museum are very detailed, and for me, this is a good opportunity to learn and understand art. 5. Spacious and comfortable: the museum has a reasonable space layout and makes people feel very comfortable. It doesn&rsquo;t feel crowded even with a lot of people. Overall, visiting the Metropolitan Museum was a very pleasant experience and I highly recommend everyone to have the opportunity to visit.

The representative of New York, USA, has two routes to take. We went up by ferry, and there is also a speedboat, but this is the most cost-effective. We went there at 2 pm, and there were not many people, so it was just right to come back. If you go in the morning, there are more tour groups and the queue will be very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.
