Best known for his drawing series Every Person In New York, Polan here presents illustrations from the forty-seven times he was able to draw photographer Robert Frank, whose 1959 book The Americans is considered one of the most important photo-based artists books of all time (see post, here).
Polan died earlier today at the age of 37, from cancer. Read the New York Times obituary here:
