Quotes
The houses of New Orleans have a story to tell but they are only
talking to Frank.
Rick Olivier, Photographer
He’s documented desolation, and he did it at night too. It’s
a view we are not seeing from other photographers, largely because
other photographers weren’t photographing in these areas that
were cordoned off and abandoned.
Frank crossed the barriers and snuck in there to these neighborhoods.
So not only is his a powerful view — in some cases, it’s
the only view.
It’s not going to be like ancient Rome here. These neighborhoods
are going to be wiped away, and we’ll get a clean slate. I
doubt what comes next will be as powerful. In that sense, Frank’s
work is more than artistic. It has
archival, documentary value too. That’s beyond what art normally
does.
David Johnson, Louisiana Endowment
for the Humanities
What I think is so important about Frank’s photos of New
Orleans is that they’re not just the mansions and palaces
but the vernacular, the ordinary houses in the Ninth Ward. …
the little mom and pop houses — that give New
Orleans its great character and heritage. New Orleans’ greatness
existed in these neighborhoods. Frank captured that. He did it with
great care — and he did it before Katrina hit. He did it out
of a love of the city.
Charles Traub, School of Visual Arts
In most people’s hands, they would just be buildings. But
through Frank’s
eyes, they’re eerie, they’re dramatic. It’s like
there’s a separate reality
there — Frank’s own New Orleans.”
Angelle Vinet, A Gallery
